Women on the Forefront

Women are at the forefront of some of the most important exchanges for the sake of our communities.

These are women called upon for damage control every time the media releases an inflammatory piece on racialised communities.
Women who undertake intellectual and emotional labour - for FREE - to educate students, professionals, authorities and ministers.
Women who shoulder the responsibilities of nurturing the youth in hostile sociopolitical environments; creating spaces, teaching at community schools and organising camps.
Women who go back home to care for families and friends.

My question is this:

Where is the place of women’s wellness and wellbeing in community work?

What are the avenues where women can restore themselves and attend to their wellbeing without the guilt of ‘selfishness’ - before going back out there and burning out again and again?
