Warriors | Healers | Builders
Upcoming Session in Washington DC June 7-9, 2013

This is the heart and soul of AYA! Everything we do is designed to make us better warriors, healers, and builders. It matters not whether it's a photography workshop, a math class, or relationship coaching. The goal is the same.



Warriors:

We must become better warriors challenging the

  • People
  • Policies
  • Practices 

that aggress upon our families, our people and our community. It's simple. Find them and challenge them. Choose your area, unfortunately, we continue to be preyed upon in every conceivable area of life.

Healers:

African people world-wide have been and continue to be wounded by white supremacy and other forms of oppression and injected oppression. Unfortunately, neither educational attainment, physical prowess, of political position is sufficient. We need safe place to discover and heal from the brutal trauma that reverberates down the generational lines from our ancestors to us. No one can do this work for us. We

Builders:

While we fight and heal, we are also obligated to build.We must build:

  • Families
  • Organizations
  • Businesses
  • Institutions.
