Description of the side event (no more than 100 words): Presented by Black Exhale, the Reparations Café offers a trauma-informed, embodied approach to processing and integrating the forum's intensive reparatory justice discussions. This 90-minute virtual session creates sanctuary to collectively process the intellectual content through guided somatic practices, facilitated dialogue, and witnessing exercises. Led by trained facilitators Antoinette Cooper and Jaden Ramsey, the session provides essential integration before the forum's final day. This model of reparations-in-practice offers practical tools that can be implemented in your communities and policy work beyond the forum.
“Without inner change there can be no outer change. Without collective change, no change matters.” —angel Kyodo williams
