WHO: For Black folks seeking practical tools and a caring community for personal and collective healing.

WHAT: Join us for a biweekly virtual community healing space for Black folks to process racial stress and learn essential tools for emotional wellness and liberation. 

This is a drop-in space. So while regular attendance is encouraged in order to help you steadily practice the tools and release racial stress, please feel free to come as you can, when you can. We’ll be here when you’re ready.

WHEN: Biweekly on Wednesday's at 7 - 9 pm ET / 4 - 6 pm PT.

When you register via Zoom, you will see the specific dates. 

WHERE: On Zoom. The Zoom link will be provided after registering.

COST: Free. Donations are welcomed. Click here to give back >>

WHY: This community was born out of the truth that healing is not a destination — it’s a collective process.

Rooted in the wisdom of our ancestors, the brilliance of Black psychology, and the sacred practices of our Emotional Emancipation Circles, this space is here to hold what the world often asks us to carry alone.

Here, we center:

  • Emotional wellness and liberation

  • Grief work and joy work

  • Community care and personal reflection

  • Collective memory and visionary futures

This is where we continue the work of tending to our grief, reclaiming our joy, breaking the chains of self-limiting beliefs, and remembering who we are—together.

You are not alone. You are not too much. You are not too late.

Come as you are — and come ready to witness and be witnessed.

Testimonials from
EEC Members

"Erika's EEC has given me the language and tools to create my own foundation for my life as I grow:

  • I've created more boundaries with my dad and learned how to not identify my worth is his opinions.
  • I've been able to more easily identify, which thoughts are lies and self-limiting beliefs. That chart [Erika teaches] has really helped me reframe my thinking!
  • I've leaned more into my pleasure, joy and rest.
  • I started asking for more money and introducing the value of "reciprocity" in my work and friend relationships.
  • EEC has affirmed that my connection to my African identity is something that is real and good about me.

This medicine forever!"

Testimonials from EEC Members


"Before I joined Erika's EEC, I honestly didn't realize how much I truly needed to be around other Black people. 

 The pandemic has been very isolating and lots of virtual spaces I'm a part of are mixed with mostly white people.

The first time I entered the EEC, I could feel my whole body relax. I hadn't realized I was holding so much tension in my body!

The EEC and the tools I learned here helped me to release some of the tension!"

Testimonials from EEC Members


"Before I joined Erika's EEC, I felt really isolated with my racial stress...

This is a truly nourishing spiritual space with a phenomenally engaged and knowledgable facilitator who makes you feel loved.

So often healing spaces for Black people are really for Christian, cis-het people or operate within that ehos, bbut this group is truly for everyone!

I've recommended it to several people!"

Testimonials from EEC Members


"As a result of attending Erika's EEC, I've been able to:

  1. Call out the ways white supremacy has infiltrated my life as well as the life of those close to me. It feels so liberating to stop a certain train of thought because you realize it's not even what you stand for.
  2. Unpack the trauma of my childhood after others in the group were brave enough to share theirs.
  3. Take up space in my institution and learn to be more confident about myself and the skin I'm in.
  4. Finalize, I learned to stop saying 'sorry' constantly and that has done wonders for my confidence!

The Emotional Emancipation Circle has played the largest role in my path to liberation. I'm forever grateful!"
