African Disaporic Practices Embodied in our Political Movements

This event has occurred.
This event has occurred.

African diasporic traditions have become more popular over the past decade. Within these practices, there are still vast amounts of colorism+anti-Blackness, spiritual ableism, and transmisogynoir. Those ideologies are not liberatory, and continue to Other+displace queer and trans practitioners in or movement spaces. This is a conversation that focuses on using indigenous spiritual practices to inform our movement strategies.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
