It is HIP (Healing Is Possible) Tuesday at SASHA Center. Today we are chatting about “Setting a new standard: Normalizing Boundaries, Consent, Safety & Wellbeing”.

Join us, every Tuesday, in a nurturing and empowering weekly virtual safe space designed to support healing for African-American women who have experienced sexual assault and those who stand alongside them as advocates and supporters.

What to Expect:
• Peer Support, Not Clinical Services: This is a peer group facilitated by trained individuals with shared experiences, providing understanding and encouragement in a non-clinical setting.

Who Can Join:
• Self-identified African-American women who have experienced sexual assault

Join us Today at lunchtime for a conversation virtually. Let’s chat! Our topic is “A Good Woman Would…”
We are going LIVE so tap in!

We're back for our fresh, dynamic lunch-time conversation series: "He Said, She Said," featuring Omari Barksdale, Dr. Larmender A. Davis, Kalimah Johnson, and Dr. Spencer A. Murray.

Out series theme: WHO TOLD US THAT?
Unpacking the Rules Black Men and Women Inherited

From “a real man should…” to “a good woman would…” we've inherited a whole lot of rules about what Black men and women are supposed to be, do, and expect from one another. But who made those rules, and do they still serve us?

Join SASHA Center’s He Said. She Said. for a four-week conversation as Black men and women unpack the messages we've inherited about masculinity, womanhood, relationships, roles, strength, vulnerability, and partnership.

We’re keeping what strengthens us, challenging what limits us, and maybe throwing a few old rules away.

Because sometimes you just have to ask: Who told us that?
Join us every Tuesday, for 4 weeks, in April, starting April 7 from 12 - 1 pm, and bring your lunch while we engage in thought-provoking conversations.

You can catch us live on Zoom or Facebook! If you're joining via Zoom, be sure to register by 10 AM on the day of each session: https://bit.ly/MEN_HSSS_2006

Don’t miss out. Let’s talk!

HELLO MONDAY.
Can we talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough?
The emotional weight of being everybody's everything.

You can love somebody without carrying the weight of their entire world.
You can be supportive without becoming responsible.
You can listen without having all the answers.
You can care about someone's healing without making it your personal assignment.
And you can allow people to experience their own journeys without feeling like you've abandoned them.

May this week bring you the freedom to show up with love without losing yourself in the process.
Because you deserve relationships where love flows both ways.
Take what you need into the week. Leave the rest here.

Love,
SASHA Center

Yesterday, SASHA Center held its Lived Experience & Cultural Training at Avalon Healing Center.

The training focused on lived experiences, cultural awareness, and advocacy for Black women impacted by gender-based violence and sexual assault.

Thank you to AeYanna Yett and Neefesha Marion for leading the training with such care and skill, and to the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence for collaborating with us. We’re grateful to everyone who participated, including SASHA Center staff who joined as learners.

SASHA Center’s frameworks are rooted in the lived experiences of Black women and developed to support more informed, culturally responsive care. We invite organizations that draw on this work to learn directly from SASHA Center and invest in the expertise and community knowledge behind it.

We’re looking ahead to 2027 (April and October) and exploring ways to advance the training, and lowering the registration price to increase participation.

The training was beautiful and deeply rewarding to share this space, bear witness to one another’s commitment, and attest to why this work matters.

It is Feel Good, Heal Good Friday at SASHA Center.
Healing doesn't always require a major breakthrough. Sometimes, it begins with a simple decision to pause, breathe, and give yourself what you need in the present moment.

Maybe it's setting a boundary, taking a moment of silence, releasing something you've been carrying, or simply allowing yourself to rest without guilt.

At SASHA Center, we believe healing is a journey rooted in self-compassion, empowerment, and honoring your needs.

Today, give yourself permission to feel good without waiting for everything around you to be perfect.

What is ONE thing you can do for yourself right now that brings you peace, comfort, or joy?

Share in the comments. Your answer might inspire someone else to prioritize their healing today.
