At Sister Spokesman’s Pause. Breathe. Heal. event, Black women filled a glass lined community space near NorthPoint for an afternoon that felt less like a program and more like a communal exhale. Publisher Tracey Williams Dillard, therapist Venus Burney, and trauma specialist Dr. Resmaa Menakem led a candid conversation about stress, survival, and the weight Black bodies carry, while vendors, laughter, and connection turned the room into a living space of healing and joy.
