- #TakeTimeThursday 5-6- 21 Having Difficult Conversations with Youth Leniqua'dominique
- Description
- Are you seeking a fun and exciting way to introduce hard topics like "Black Lives Matter," body positivity, racism, colorism, and inclusion? Are you interested in developing self-esteem in children/youth? Leniqua'dominique Jenkins, local Ward 7 DC resident and author of “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall,” will show readers how to use her top-selling Amazon children's book as a resource to start difficult dialogs with young readers. This workshop will guide participants on healthy and smart ways to start conversations surrounding timely and important national topics, in easy and practical ways. This workshop addresses inclusive themes and is also helpful to approach difficult subjects with other adults, so we encourage all to attend. In June of 2020, Jenkins self-published a children’s book titled Mirror, “Mirror on the Wall.” This book celebrates melanin and promotes body positivity. As you turn each page, young readers will fall more deeply in love with all body types, skin tones, and learn to challenge beauty standards outside of western cultural norms. Additionally, this book is a great resource to develop self-esteem, confidence, and self-awareness particularly, for black and brown children.

- Food Sovereignty in the Past, Present & Future of Washington, DC
- Description
- A part of the series, "Knowing Our Past, Creating Our Future", this intergenerational conversation with Washington, DC, food system creators—past and present—share about their work and the legacy and linage of food sovereignty activism in Washington, DC. Hosted by organizers Katie Petitt (Current Movements) and Matt Birkhold (Visionary Organizing Lab), the conversation will feature Joelle Robinson (South Eats), Mosadi Khaliq (Rooted & Sustained), and Ausu-f Teba Raari (Community Warehouse). About this series: Washington, DC, is widely seen as a site of large national protests but also has a long and overlooked history of local activism. In the 1960s, activists in Washington, DC, created new schools, successfully organized to stop freeway construction in neighborhoods, created neighborhood governance when the city had no local elected officials, stopped urban renewal projects, and created parks, youth centers, and cooperative food stores. DC activists also organized to establish home rule and gain representation in Congress. In partnership with the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum, two DC-based organizations that support activists who seek to deepen their work— Current Movements (CM) and Visionary Organizing Lab (VOL)—are collaborating to understand why DC was fertile ground for this kind of institution building. We believe that by bringing generations together to explore this question, younger and elder activists alike can grow in their work and see themselves as part of a multigenerational movement history unique to DC.

- #TakeTimeThursday: Pippin Hot Sauce: A Conversation with Urban Agriculturalist, Xavier Brown
- Description
- Recorded live, we hear from Urban Agriculturalist, Xavier Brown, as he shares his story of how he started Soilful City and how his award-winning Pippin Hot Sauce provided him ends (income). Soilful City is a space dedicated to connecting humans to nature through information, ideas, and people in urban environments. This month our Take Time Thursdays will be about food in conjunction with ACM’s year-long theme, “Our Food Our Future.” This year long examination of food history, culture, and justice includes the exhibit, “Food for the People: Eating and Activism in Greater Washington” and related programs designed to educate and encourage audiences to take action to create a more equitable future. Xavier Brown, M.S. (he/his) is a native of Washington, DC and a graduate of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. He operates at the boundaries of urban agriculture, environmental sustainability, and African Diasporic culture. His work intertwines sustainability with the issues that impact stressed communities from gun violence to mass incarceration. By studying the practices of indigenous people and going back to ancestral knowledge, Xavier is creating a new sustainability movement that is healing the people and the land by reconnecting our sacred relationship to the earth. #Take Time Thursdays with the Anacostia Community Museum gives participants a chance to take time for wellness, health, and creativity with artists, thought leaders, performers, wellness practitioners and others. Take a 30-minute break with us from 2:30 - 3:00 p.m. each Thursday and boost your mind, body and spirit.

- Environmental Advocacy Among Dual Pandemics
- Description
- In celebration of Women’s History Month, ACM’s Urban Waterways project is hosting four virtual community forums as part of its Women’s Environmental Leadership (WEL) initiative. Explore the importance of acknowledging the environmental context in which the dual pandemics are taking place. This panel discussion will explore the willingness to explore present challenges through an environmental lens and the lessons intersectional approaches can offer in addressing present challenges. The impacts of Covid-19 on communities worldwide have served to bring into sharper focus inequities which are the consequences of centuries of systemic racism. Socioeconomic disparities have resulted in communities of color experiencing a disproportionate burden of Coivd-19 cases and deaths. If the past year has served as a reminder of the interdependence which is at the center of thriving communities, to what extent have the ongoing efforts of those who view their Environmental work from an intersectional lens served as a warning to the realities of the present? Moderator: Dr. Marva King, Retired EPA EJ Senior Policy Advisor Panelists: Nakisa Glover, Founder/Executive Director Sol Nation Rita T. Harris, Sierra Club National Board of Directors Jacqui Patterson, Sr. Director Environmental Justice Program, NAACP Dr. Deanna Wathington, Principal, Joyfull Works and Consulting, LLC
