Sistas Rebuilding Sisterhood: What Do We Keep, and What Do We Heal? (June 2026)

What Do We Keep, and What Do We Heal? is a 90-minute virtual conversation within the Sistas Rebuilding Sisterhood series, hosted by Conversations in Color and facilitated by Lana Reid.

Across generations, Black families have passed down traditions, values, faith, resilience, and deep bonds of loyalty — often alongside unspoken pain shaped by survival, protection, and historical trauma. While many of these inherited patterns were created out of love and necessity, some continue to cause harm when left unexamined.

This June 2026 conversation invites intergenerational Black women to reflect on how generational trauma is transmitted — and how it can be interrupted without severing family ties or abandoning culture and connection.

Together, participants will explore:

• Emotional, relational, and spiritual habits inherited without consent

• Silence, conflict avoidance, and emotional restraint as survival strategies

• How loyalty can quietly require self-suppression

• The difference between honoring elders and perpetuating harm

• Ways to practice healing while preserving family and cultural bonds

Rather than positioning the past as failure, this conversation centers understanding, compassion, and agency — creating space to choose what deserves to be carried forward and what deserves to be healed.

This session is part of Sistas Rebuilding Sisterhood, a monthly virtual gathering designed to foster clarity, repair, and community-rooted healing among intergenerational Black women.

Facilitated by Lana Reid, founder of Conversations in Color and creator and host of The Male Perspective, this conversation offers a grounded space for reflection, shared truth, and reimagining legacy with intention.
