Revisiting Intentions

Can you believe 2020 is halfway done? As we look back, it may be hard not to notice that a lot of well-thought-out plans and wonderful ideas have been derailed and have left many feeling a bit hopeless or anxious about what the rest of the year is going to look like.

As queer people of color, summer tends to be a time when we look forward to gathering around the pool or backyard for a cook out with our family and friends and when our melanin pops the most, so when this type of social connection is risky during the pandemic, it is even more important that we find new and effective ways to continue to flourish, thrive and connect. You can always recommit to yourself and make a plan that will help you navigate the remainder of 2020. Maybe you can reimagine what sexual health can look like and finally try the video chat feature on that dating app? It is also okay to mourn the loss of expectations for the year while looking forward to whatever is next.

Join us on Friday, July 31st from 1 to 3 PM for an opportunity to spend some time together as we reflect on and revisit these intentions or explore completely new ones that fit your needs at this time. We will also have a chance to take part in an uplifting activity where we can support one another’s new or reimagined aspirations that go beyond any limits this year had. This event is one of many this year around promoting the well being and vitality of QPOC communities in Austin, TX.
