CommuniTEA Salons
The CommuniTEA Salons are rooted in the tradition of historical tradition of Black people hosting salons in their homes where artists, thinkers, and community leaders gathered to exchange ideas and build movements for social change. This work is deeply informed by the Dark Tower Salon and other salons of the Harlem Renaissance, the Combahee River Collective, the organizing strategies of the Colored Conventions, the legacy of the Georgia Gilmore Club and the Club from Nowhere as well as the timeless tradition and convening power of Black people to use storytelling and grassroots activism to create, develop and demand true change.
This salons seamlessly weave together meditation, cultural exploration, and community discussion, offering participants a “Think & Do” experience where they not only reflect on critical issues but also co-create solutions for a healthier, more connected future.

This is the think & do camp.
This was the best thing I could’ve done was spend my Saturday with these people. When they said there are people who consciously meet to discuss the ideas on how they can create a World they imagine. This was the thing and Dc right here. So if you have an opportunity to join I suggest you do because you will come out of it with a better understanding of what the world should look like and how you fit into making it happen. Think and do.
