Hoochie Mamas on Queering Black Motherhood and Raising Free Black Children

​Tuesday June 16th, Jamilah Lemieux, Tanya Denise Fields, and Rell Brown are coming together to dig into the project of queering Black motherhood and what it actually looks like to raise free Black children in this world.

​Jamilah Lemieux, one of the most important feminist voices of the 21st century and a pioneering voice in the Black feminist blogosphere, is bringing her debut book Black. Single. Mother. home to Brooklyn. Joining her are Tanya Denise Fields, founder of The Black Feminist Project and the Alice Fields Community Center in the Bronx, whose life's work centers food access, Black maternal wellness, and liberation, and Rell Brown, community organizer, campaign strategist, and Jurist Doctorate candidate at CUNY Law, fighting every day to end anti-Black State violence and raising a whole free child while she does it.

​Together these three women are going to tear open the project of queering Black motherhood.

​This is the kind of night that reminds you why spaces like Gladys exist. Come with your thoughts, your stories, and an open heart. RSVP required (with sliding scale options). We can't wait to see you beloved!
