Let It Breathe

Join the LGBTQIA+, BCC, and Women's Center in welcoming Rise from Riotous Roots to campus to facilitate a poetry workshop with healing modalities. In addition to the poetry workshop, we will have various crafts and coloring books for you to enjoy. There will be snacks to enjoy too.

Rise is a queer Black disabled genderfluid ffemmeboiin Chicago

They are a artist, poet, full spectrum (birth/postpartum/grief & loss/abortion) birthworker, yoga teacher, meditation facilitator, gender affirming and trauma informed care and disability justice educator, access consultant and community care worker.

Rise is deeply invested in disability justice, access, centering wellness for Black queer folk, trauma education, and rest. When not doing the most, they enjoy daydreaming, dancing, and hanging with their support pup, Jelly Ferocious.

This event is to bring awareness to the Sexual Misconduct Campus Climate survey administered by the Office of Gender Equity.
