Black Panther and Star Wars - two epic storylines that invite our imaginations to build a movement, build a new world. How do we turn political threats into opportunities? How are we building resistance rooted in our cultures, and vision for a just society? In this session we will utilize storytelling, graphic facilitation, and through whole group engagement build a collective vision for a movement force to be reckoned with.
