sanctuary

sanctuary is a practical necessity for Black freedom.
it happens in kitchens, gardens, porches, praise houses, and fields
where we have made ways to live
when the world was organized against Black survival.

sanctuary is a Black practice of care, survival, freedom, and future-making
and SUSU is one present-day site where that practice is honored and exercised
liberation

Black history shows that liberation is built
through land tended collectively, food shared deliberately,
and care organized as infrastructure.
homeplace

the site of resistance, freedom, matriarchal love, and radical imagination

“We can make homeplace that space where we return for renewal and self-recovery, where we can heal our wounds and become whole.” — bell hooks
