WE WILL BE BACK
THANK YOU
Held in early October 2025 in Durham, North Carolina, Iranti Ẹjẹ: Remembering Blood was the first of its kind and brought together people of all walks and from all lands to do a new thing: Talk about menopause in ways that center pleasure, that center true wellness, that center trans folks, young and old folks, and system impacted folks, and other marginalized (no more) communities.
About Us
WHO WE ARE
The Black Girl’s Guide to Surviving Menopause (BGG2SM) is a culture and narrative shift reproductive justice collective. We are a multidisciplinary, socially engaged practice rooted in storytelling as a liberatory act—an embodied practice of witnessing, cultural organizing, and ritual. Since our founding in 2019, we’ve worked to reshape how aging, menopause, and reproductive justice are understood and experienced, particularly by those most often pushed to the margins.

Your willingness to expand what menopause can mean helps us find value, affirmation and belonging in each and everyone's story as we continue to transform.

YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS
Iranti Ẹ̀jẹ̀: A Digital Quilt for the Global Majority - Rachel Hughes
Featuring 255 squares this digital quilt contains kufis and ball caps, ceremonial skirts and saris, leather and fringe, moss, tree bark, whale bone and more…
The hope is that you will find yourself in this quilt, but even if your outfit was not photographed at the conference, please know that if you were in attendance in person, online, or in spirit, each of you helped create a thread in this quilt which was woven, for the diaspora and the global majority, with respect and love.
-Exerpt from Rachel Hughes Artist Statement
dreaming the multiverse, oracle poem - Austen Smith
This collective poem was created by participants as a response to Austen Smith's guidance at the close of each conference day. Austen offered prompts to help participants metabolize the wisdom of the day, designed to help participants integrate what they felt, heard, and remembered—while inviting the unknown and the ancestral to meet them in their dreams.
