🕰️ Delve into the depths of Black history and its contemporary significance at the "Looking in the Mirror of Black History: Living in the Now" event. Scheduled for Thursday, May 16, from 6pm to 8pm, this gathering promises to be a profound journey through time and self-discovery.

🏛️ Hosted at the hallowed International African American Museum, located at 14 Wharfside St, Charleston, SC, the venue itself adds a layer of historical resonance as it stands on the largest entry point for enslaved Africans in the United States.

This unique experience will be guided by Dr. Kamilah Majied, a contemplative leader and author celebrated for her work, "Joyfully Just, Black Wisdom, and Buddhist Insights for Liberated Living." Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a reflective dialogue on the impacts of Black history on personal and communal life, underpinned by Dr. Majied's diverse spiritual insights.

🧘‍♀️ The session will focus on integrating mindful practices into the exploration of Black history, enabling attendees to experience it through the lenses of heart, mind, body, and spirit. Dr. Majied will also shed light on how faith and African indigenous philosophies, alongside Buddhist principles like Ubuntu and Interdependence, can deepen our understanding and appreciation of Black history.

This event is ideal for those looking to deepen their connection with Black history and gain tools for personal transformation and community engagement. Don't miss the chance to be part of this transformative evening.
