Stewarding Stories: Reflections from the Black Women's Dept. of Labor Project & Podcast
Saturday, September 14, 2024
Breakout Session Block D
10:00am - 11:30am ET
Room: Ascot
The Black Women’s Dept. of Labor is a project and podcast developed by Taja Lindley that has successfully delivered 2 seasons of content exploring the historical, sociocultural, political, economic, and personal context of Black people birthing.
During this session, participants will learn more about the successful storytelling techniques rooted in Black feminisms that are used to craft episodes and develop the accompanying art projects. Techniques include but are not limited to: stewarding stories with dignity; the art of listening; creative and artful practices for presenting qualitative data about Black maternal health experiences.
This session includes a presentation of two artworks addressing Black women breastfeeding – “Pump & Feed” and “Invoice #001.”
Participants who attend will learn more about compelling and evocative art and culture tools and strategies for discussing Black maternal health publicly, creatively, and accessibly. This is useful for folks who are interested in building narrative power and employing cultural organizing strategies in their organizations, work, and communities.
