Loved in the Light: Meditations on Retreat, Building & The Importance of Sisterhood, guest piece by Damali Speaks
This blog comments on the importance of self-love and the long complicated journey and process to get there. Damali Speaks is a blog of sorts created from a young black queer woman theater artist’s way of making sense of the world. This exploration turned into a self love journey and here she is. Originally a New Yorker, she is currently residing in between Los Angeles, California and Brooklyn, New York. In addition to her own personal artistry decorating this blog space, she is the Artistic Director of Speak Theater Productions. Make sure to follow her on Instagram @blackgirlhope for more!
