Affirmation Space is
a community affirmation space
a healing space
an ancestral rooting
a portal made of portals
where we create, send, and receive
healing messages
to and from
our past, present, and future cellves
Affirmation Space is
a community artfirmation space
a community creation collaboration space
where we inspire eachother
to hear and share our truths
with ourcellves
so we can share our deepest dreams
out loud collectively
in the full spectrums
of universal creativity
in the full spectrums
of interliberatory love
Affirmation Space is a tangible and evolving space that is held down by Bayou Bay and author/circle keeper Saba Shabazz (Sean Stewart). Affirmation Space is not a non-profit, is not an organization, or a permanent space as of yet. In its 2nd iteration it is installed in the Public Functionary Main Gallery on the 1st floor of the Northrup King Building through March 4th of 2023. We do not have daily or weekly open hours, but do have events and days we are open for public or private use. The dream for the space is to become permanent at some point in the future, but for now it is also a dream come true that people have gathered in the space and more gatherings are to come. Check our Instagram for upcoming events.
