SUMMARY:writing our bodies into existence: for black trans-masculine folk
DESCRIPTION:Black trans-masc affinity poetry\\, somatics\\, meditation sp
 ace for black trans-masculine folk.\\nBody Talks are workshops that emplo
 y Imani’s poetic approach to somatic healing grounded in creativity\\, 
 mindfulness\\, movement\\, and more. Body Talks invite us into deeper int
 imacy with ourselves and other Body Talkers\\, grounding us in collective
  somatic healing intended to liberate us.\\nInspired by mundane conversat
 ions with their black trans-masculine friends\\, Imani has realized that 
 being black and trans-masculine often means engaging in &#8220\\;body hor
 ror\\,&#8221\\; &#8220\\;self-love\\,&#8221\\; and &#8220\\;self-care&#82
 21\\; from the place of corporal\\, social\\, cultural\\, and historical 
 paradox. Through their responses to their friends\\, Imani realized that 
 a space to facilitate these conversations and generate poems around this 
 topic might be inspiring and resonant for them and their community. Poetr
 y is a container to engage time and space otherwise\\; poetry might hold 
 these complexities around the subconscious\\, dream state\\, illness\\, c
 hronic pain\\, self-care &amp\\; black masculinity\\, psychosocial experi
 ences of medically transitioning (or not)\\, and the somatic sensation of
  gaining (self-fashioning) a body through surgery and HRT\\, or &#8220\\;
 losing&#8221\\; one&#8217\\;s body through natural change. This is Imani&
 #8217\\;s way of Body Talking with other black trans-masculine folk\\, in
  a more formal setting\\, to reassess\\, through somatics\\, meditation\
 \, and poetry\\, what bodily autonomy truly means when change\\, as their
  bio mother once said\\, &#8220\\;is the only thing\\, in this lifetime\\
 , we can really count on.&#8221\\; Imani will create a poetic container g
 rounded in meditation\\, music\\, and co-regulatory somatic practices. Fr
 om there\\, we will dive in and share what we write!\\nBody Talks are edu
 cational spaces. We share ourselves\\, our creativity\\, and embodied wis
 dom as resources for collective mental and somatic liberation.\\nhttps:/
