Her insight is foundational - absolutely essential for those of us creating the conditions of intergenerational well-being." says Abeni Bloodworth, co-founder, writer, and artist-activist, chromatic black™.
The Keep Black Love Alive forum is an invitation to join a national campaign powered by Black women leaders, their allies and friends across the country to combat truth decay, misinformation and disinformation, and medical distrust.

This policy agenda will further new ways of transforming our systems with racial equity and intergenerational well-being at the center.
