silent sundays: a deeper dive

Jun 8

Silent Sundays is a virtual therapy series created with care for Black women and queer & trans people of color who crave a space to exhale, feel seen, and heal in community.

These are free clinical group therapy sessions—open, but held with intention and structure by a licensed mental health therapist (that’s me!). It’s not just a social hangout or a space for casual chat. This is therapy—with room for rest, depth, softness, and growth.

What It Is

🌀 Biweekly sessions held on Sundays at 5 PM EST / 2 PM PST
💻 Virtual via Zoom (link provided after registration)
⏳ Each group lasts about 85 minutes
✍🏾 Bring a journal to capture reflections, feelings, or ideas
🎨 Feel free to bring calming activities like crochet, drawing, or fidget tools—especially if you experience anxiety or process better with your hands
Sessions begin Sunday, July 6th

We begin with grounding, check in, hold space to speak and be heard, and offer affirmations and tools. Every week follows a similar rhythm, creating comfort in routine while staying open to your real-time needs.

Who It's For

Silent Sundays alternates weekly between two clinical support groups:

Sanité – Black Women’s Group

Inspired by Sanité Bélair, a Haitian freedom fighter, this space is for Black women (cis, trans, and femmes) to reclaim their time, voice, and softness.
🗓 Meets every other Sunday

The Marsha P. Circle – QTPOC Group

Honoring Marsha P. Johnson, this space is for queer and trans people of color to process, reflect, and reconnect without explaining themselves.
🗓 Alternates Sundays with Sanité

What Makes This Clinical

Led by a licensed therapist trained in group facilitation
Designed to support emotional healing, reflection, and connection—not casual conversation
No formal diagnosis or screening required, but therapeutic boundaries are honored
Group guidelines help keep the space safe, inclusive, and respectful
Consistency is encouraged—coming regularly helps deepen connection and support outcomes
Optional reflection/homework prompts are provided to strengthen healing between sessions
