Blooming out of Trauma : Build vs Fight

General campaign

🌟 Join us in Creating Change! 🌟


At Teena's Legacy, we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all. 

Ask yourself, can I efficiently build or create if I live most of my time in a survival or fighting state of mind? 

This is the very question we plan to dissect as we tour throughout the City of Chicago Spring and Summer time 2025. We are seeking funding to help support our tour built on a series of community centered upholstery workshops. We will hold four separate six-session workshops in different areas: Southside, Southeast side, far Southside and the Westside of Chicago. 

In addition to teaching the skills of reupholstery, the workshops will also focus on providing a unique and compelling entry point for people to examine and engage in critical discussions about the historical timeline of inequity and systemic racism in Black communities. 

Our goal is to create a transformative experience that celebrates the power of art, culture and history. The upholstery workshops will be focused on the idea: While in a more creation/build state of mine oppose to a survival/fight state of mine, we create healthy pathways encouraging sustainable collaboration in Black communities and removing barriers towards unity.
