On Tuesday, June 20, 2017, 32 women from or affiliated with the Oak Park Working Mom Facebook group, came together at L!VE Café & Creative Space with the objective to be together, face-to-face, life-on-life, to experience one another, and to practice the artful skill of resting in tension together, as we shared burning statements, essential questions, possible responses, and preliminary next steps to continuing our discourse and recourse on how to be together well in this community and beyond. Reesheda Graham-Washington, owner of L!VE, moderated the "curated conversation," Shelena Johnson, L!VE's Curated Experiences Intern, captured some of our thoughts and expressions, and Jontisha Graves, neighbor & Library Media Assistant at Percy Julian Middle Schools compiled a photo-journal of the experience. Below are some of the notes and photos that were captured of the event.
