Little Black Pearl was founded on a simple yet powerful vision: to empower and uplift our community through the arts.
RACIAL HEALING
NATIONAL DAY OF
You are invited to join Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) & Little Black Pearl for a day filled with creativity and healing vibes. Let your imagination run wild as we explore the power of art in bringing love, peace and human connection to our lives. This event is all about exploring creative outlets and social platforms as vital tools for sharing our narratives and sustaining our stories for future generations. Collectively, we will lean into our shared humanity – listening deeply, sharing authentically, and holding space for healing. We earnestly believe that art, as a powerful tool for storytelling and narrative change, has the ability to transform policies toward racial equity, helping to close the persistent wealth and health gaps in Chicago and beyond. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to nurture your heart space and express yourself through various art forms, in community at the heart & soul of Bronzeville.
