SUMMARY:Solidarity As Medicine: Asian & Black Communities Healing Together
DESCRIPTION:Community conversation about working with\, not against\, cultural difference.\n\n\n\nIn a time of rising harm\, division\, and distress\, BEAM and the Asian Mental Health Collective are coming together to hold space for a long-overdue talk: cross-cultural solidarity centered in healing justice. \nThis community conversation invites us to move beyond individual and racially siloed healing into the practice of collective care that transcends\, but still authentically honors\, ethnicity. We will acknowledge and draw from the powerful history of Black\, Asian\, and Indigenous folk (alongside other communities of color and allies) coming together across difference\, address the very real divisions being weaponized against us\, and explore what it looks like to continue to build sustainable ecosystems of care together. \nThis session is for those wanting to close the racial chasms and for anyone who believes that our liberation is interconnected. If you are ready to deepen relationships across cultures\, join us. \nAbout the Guest Speaker \nAyesha Meer (she/her) With over a decade of experience in nonprofit and public management\, Ayesha has grown Asian Mental Health Collective into the leading organization addressing mental health in Asian communities. Ayesha’s own journey to find mental health support\, as an Indian South African immigrant to the US\, led her to join Asian Mental Health Collective as Executive Director in 2023 and to work to create a mental health system that is by and for pan-Asian communities in the US. \nPrior to joining AMHC Ayesha served as Executive Director for Artemis House—a domestic and sexual violence shelter and response organization in Western South Dakota. Ayesha has a particular interest in ending shame around capitalist ideas of productivity. She holds an MPA in Public and Nonprofit management from New York University\, which was funded by a Fulbright grant. \n  \n*** \nAccessibility Statement: ASL services are available\, as well as closed captioning.
