A Space of Our Own: Black Women in Community

Created and led by Dr. Gaila Sims, FAM’s Vice President of Programs and Interpretation and Curator of African American History, this program is inspired by the powerful legacy of African American women who have shaped Fredericksburg’s history.

The program aims to provide an inclusive space for Black women of all ages and backgrounds to come together for conversation, relaxation, and support. Intergenerational dialogue, networking, and communal care will be at the heart of each gathering. Light refreshments, craft supplies, and conversation starters will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring board games, puzzles, art supplies, or snacks to share. Trusted allies are welcome, but the program prioritizes Black women’s experiences and needs.
