In commemoration of the 400th year of Africans being brought to Jamestown, Virginia by the British and being forced into slavery, Black Family Blueprint is hosting The Intimacy of Blackness to explore the impact of this unique experience on Black love and marriage.
Intimacy of Blackness is a workshop examining the intersectionality of Black identity, adult secure attachment theory, and relationship maintenance model.
Designed for committed Black couples, the workshop explores historical narratives and culminates with a presentation of strategies to enhance intimacy and build the foundation for healing-centered relationship. Couples will walk away with a vision and tools to incorporate new behaviors for healthy affection, methods for deeper mental and emotional interactions, and an understanding of current Black affection in the context of historical experiences.
