Legacy & Sankofa: Healing from Institutional Violence While Building a Community of Practice

Sanfoka is a word in the Twi language of Ghana meaning “to retrieve” and often represents the importance of learning from the past. We will create space to grieve about the historical and current harms that health and research institutions have caused LGBTQIA+ and other minoritized communities. We will also lift up the resilience of our communities and pathways forged to create a better present. Together, we will discuss ways that we want to hold this duality of experiences within our work in LGBTQIA+ health research and create joy moving forward.

***Content warning: This session will discuss real harms that institutions have inflicted (and continue to inflict) on the community, with an invitation to share your perspectives. As this content may be triggering, we will incorporate self-care practices into the session and invite attendees to practice self-care in the ways that are most supportive for them (which may look like stepping out for portions or all of this session, breathing exercises, staying hydrated, etc.).

Learning Objectives/Intended Outcomes:
• Discuss the impacts of institutional harms within a space that allows for both grieving and lifting up resilience.
• Identify self-care practices to consider using when confronted with institutional harms (historical and/or present).
• Co-create pathways and model language for being able to acknowledge the historical and current institutional harms caused to the LGBTQIA+ community while also building trust and sharing how PRIDEnet’s work is different.

Speakers:
• Shalonda Ingram (s:he), Participant Advisory Committee
• Daniel Moretti, MSc (all pronouns), PRIDEnet Community Engagement Lead
