Give boldly. Give toward Black healing.🖤

✨ More than 1,500 people came through our trainings seeking tools, connection, and healing justice education.

While institutions turn away, we continue to turn toward our communities.
Because Black healing is non-negotiable.

✨ We brought together healers & cultural workers from across the country to restore, strategize, and build.

✨ We distributed $100K+ in grants to small orgs supporting parents, formerly incarcerated folks, and community caregivers.

We’ve seen what happens when we invest in us:

✨ Over 600 people found safety, grounding, food, and community in our in-person healing circles.

✨ We provided $30,000 in direct support to families impacted by the LA fires.

Grab one, or more, of these shirts and gift them to folks who you want to see HEAL!

At BEAM, we move with gratitude AND **accountability. Any we don’t owe any gratitude to generations of harm, violence and repression!

BEAM believes in community and COLLECTIVE care — so please share a few tips of your own in the comments below. Each one, teach one!

We want to share 5 simple, yet effective, tips for surviving family drama. Notice we did not say “avoiding”. From establishing boundaries, to reflecting and setting intentions, these tips will help you navigate the possibility of things going left.

Resting, releasing, and reconnecting in shared space reminded us how powerful collective healing can be.

We were honored to hold space for healing, and to witness these beautiful groups come together in community.

We are grateful for everyone who joined us.

Supporting TGIJP continues her work of advocating for incarcerated trans women of color and fighting for their liberation.

Miss Major served as the first executive director for the San Francisco-based TGIJP. The organization focuses on ending the human rights abuses committed against transgender, gender-variant, and intersex people in California prisons, jails, and detention centers.

From surviving Attica to standing at Stonewall to nurturing generations of organizers, her legacy lives in every space where Black trans people are protected, affirmed, and believed. Miss Major paved the way, so we can continue the journey.

Considered a mother to trans women across the country, Miss Major created pathways to healing and survival for those too often forgotten. Her work reminds us that community care is not optional but is necessary in how we fight for each other.
