In recognition of the devastation that cancer is having on the Black community, Moyo Institute collaborated with Charlotte Maxwell Clinic and The Smith Center for Healing and the Arts in Washington, DC on a grant funded by the Lloyd Symington Foundation in 2022 and again in 2023 to create and offer a “Love Letters to Our Bodies” program for African American women journeying with cancer.
Drawing participants from across the country in virtual sessions (and recently an onsite workshop at the Smith Center in Washington, DC), the program focuses on the mind/body/spirit connection, features powerful presentations by dynamic women about their cancer journeys, and culminates with participants expressing a new appreciation for their bodies through the writing of love letters.
