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.
Through virtual gatherings, intergenerational conversations, cultural programming, and collective reflection, we nurtured engagement as an act of radical care. We reminded one another that community is not canceled in a crisis, it is called forward.
“Fighting for change is hard…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 to be criticized.”
— Rev. Al Sharpton
