Healing
Soft, intentional spaces to rest your nervous system and return to yourself.
Joy
Pleasure as practice — laughter, beauty, food, art, movement, slow afternoons.
Connection
Real friendships, in real rooms, with people who feel like home.
Young Black Femmes in San Francisco believes that when Black femmes, women, and gender expansive people have consistent access to healing-centered community spaces, they build meaningful relationships, strengthen support networks, deepen their sense of belonging, and contribute to a more connected and resilient community.
Young Black Femmes in San Francisco is centered on Black femmes, women, and gender expansive people. We use the term “femmes” as an expansive community term that reflects our roots while honoring the many ways people experience and express femininity, rather than limiting our community to any one specific gender identity.
The Watering Holes
Part 1 of 3 · Rooted & Rising Series
The opening gathering of the Rooted & Rising series — a reflective space for Black femmes to explore grounding, imagination, and belonging. Come as you are.
“Where in my body am I still carrying last week? What does it need from me today?”
Sit with this →I am allowed to take up space softly. My rest is a gift to my community.
Pieces of a year well-gathered.
Picnics in the park, self-care afternoons, slow walks through the city — small proof that softness lives here.
Come exhale with us.
Get gentle updates on gatherings, resources, and reflections.
