For many Black survivors of religious trauma, sexuality was not just policed—it was shamed, silenced, and buried beneath layers of holiness & sanctification doctrine, purity culture, and spiritual manipulation. In this support space, we’ll hold gentle and honest conversations around reclaiming sexuality after religious harm.

This is not about anyone telling you *how* to be sexual—it’s about you remembering that your body, your desires, and your choices are *yours*. We’ll explore how religious control disrupted our ability to feel safe, whole, and empowered in our own skin—and we’ll hold space for each other as we navigate what it looks like to heal, define sexuality on our terms, and feel more confident in the process.

Whether you're in the early stages of healing or further along your journey, this group is a space for Black survivors to reflect, express, and reconnect with the freedom to feel, to choose, and to be fully human, especially in the area of sexuality.
Come as you are. You are not broken. You are becoming.

Reclaiming Sexuality: Healing, Freedom, Confidence, & Choice 

Online event

There comes a moment in every survivor’s journey when the silence becomes too heavy to carry. When the weight of unspoken truths, suppressed questions, and swallowed grief becomes unbearable. For Black religious trauma survivors, that silence was often taught as holy, but it came at the cost of our voice.

In this support space, we’ll reflect on the ways religion suppressed our voices—through shame, control, fear, or manipulation. We’ll make room for the anger we weren’t allowed to feel, the stories we were too afraid to tell, and the self-expression we were taught to hide.

Together, we’ll create space for the voice that’s been waiting to speak—not just in words, but in truth, in power, in freedom.
Come ready to listen deeply, speak honestly, and hold space for your own becoming. Your voice was never the problem—it was always the key. Let's reclaim our voice & sound!
