WHO CAN REGISTER?
THIS CELEBRATORY HEALING CONFERENCE OFFERS A SAFE SPACE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE PUPIL OF THE EYE (POTE), THEIR POTE FRIENDS, FAMILIES, AND SELECT OTHERS (ALREADY WORKING WITH US SHOULDER TO SHOULDER AND MAKING SUPREME EFFORTS) TO NURTURE, ENCOURAGE, AND SUPPORT PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT.
THOSE WHO ARE NOT POTE, ARE ADMITTED BY INVITATION ONLY! THIS IS NOT A CONFERENCE TO CONVINCE OR EDUCATE OTHERS THAT WE SHOULD MATTER, NOR A SPACE TO ENTERTAIN OTHERS. IT IS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY FIGHTING TO DISMANTLE THE RACIST POWER STRUCTURES AND CREATE SAFE AND WELCOMING SPACES FOR MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES.
