Daughters of the Movement
on Clubhouse
During COVID, Daughters of the Movement created sacred space for community healing and connection at a time when isolation threatened to unravel us.
We understood that beyond the physical virus, there was a quieter crisis taking hold, loneliness, grief, anxiety, and disconnection. We were deeply concerned about the mental health and emotional wellness of our community, and we moved with intention to ensure that no one felt unseen, unheard, or alone.

But if you are going to really build a humane society, you’ve got to be willing to do the hard things, which means you’re going
