Underneath that in the bottom left corner, in smaller green (outlined in Black) letters where the words get smaller as they move toward center page is printed: “Weekly” with “MEETING” below it. In between the words “Weekly” & “Meeting” smaller red letters are the words on 4 lines “Message +1.601.329.9449 (WhatsApp) for details.” Just below the center of the page, under the “pm” of “5pm” and to the right “Weekly Meeting” is the Black Writers Group logo. (The logo is the words “Black” and “Writers Group” in black letters encircling a black, white, and grey fist holding a red, black, and green pencil. The fist is on top of a small green circle, surrounded by a larger black circle which is surrounded by an even larger black circle.) On the right side of the page curving in toward the center and out toward the top right, edge, and bottom right corner is the following: “Home is not a singular, fixed location; it's a complex tapestry woven from experiences, relationships, and a sense of belonging. It can encompass multiple places simultaneously. It's a yearning for a space where one can exist authentically, free from the constant struggle against marginalization. ~Béné Bicaba”

There is a black background. In the center in yellow letters are the words "Writing Prompt". Below the word "writing" and above the word "prompt" is the following quote: "...America is so powerful - with its tentacles reaching out to the world - one doesn't escape it by leaving. ~ Randall Robinson" Around the words "Writing Promp" are 5 groups of questions/prompts written in green. * Complete a phrase or 2 or 5: America is... OR The system of white supremacy is... OR Afrika is... OR Black people are... OR I am... * How do you experience connection with and relationship to whiteness? * What is POWER. Describe what powerful is without saying “powerful” or “power”. What, if anything, makes BlackUs powerful? * Can, will, IS amerikkka collapsing? & * What/ Who/ When has a hold on you that you want to break? Are we holding on to slavery and/or stuff that we need to release? What and why? How/Have you broken ties with trauma? Can you move on and heal while injury is ongoing? Is injury to BlackUs something from “back then”?
