Join me February 12 @7pm at @grpubliclibrary for my first history talk (🥹♥️) — Lifting as We Climb: The Grand Rapids Study Club and the Legacy of Black Women Cultural Workers in partnership with Grand Rapids Historical Society and @freealchemystudio The Grand Rapids Study Club, founded in 1904, is home of some of the most dynamic Black women of our city’s history, who came together and shifted the trajectory of our community through collaboration and collective power at work. This talk will explore the Club’s impact in connection to the spirit and strategy of Black Women’s Club movement of the 20th century. This talk and exhibition is my love letter in honor of these brilliant Black women who have left the blueprints for us to build from today, who have inspired so much of my practice as a cultural worker here in Grand Rapids. It has been a tremendous honor of my life to learn from the incredible archive of the women of Grand Rapids Study Club in respect to their everlasting impact here in Grand Rapids and beyond. My intention is for us to learn more about our local history and those who have walked these roads before us, using the history to guide us on how we build today. May their legacy and contributions continue to inspire us and be forever preserved, remembered and revered — just as their club motto: rowing, not drifting. 🌼 Throughout the month of February, come explore the archival exhibitions on display on the 4th floor of @grpubliclibrary : 🛠️ How to Build Culture: Tools of Cultural Work through the lens of the Grand Rapids Study Club archive 🪜 Lifting as We Climb: The Grand Rapids Study Club and the Legacy of Black Women Cultural Workers

2026 marks 100 years of Black History Month, beginning in 1926 as Negro History Week, founded by Carter G. Woodson. Black History is everywhere we are. Here in Grand Rapids, there is a beautiful heritage of Black women shaping community, culture and the city itself, educators, organizers, leaders — a lot of those women belonged to the Grand Rapids Study Club, founded in 1904 — who intentionally preserved their history for us to learn from. Through their archives, the Grand Rapids Study Club left blueprints and architecture, like their clubhouse at 427 James Ave SE, that speak to their dynamic brilliance and timeless legacy to this day. This work is in honor of them. At a time of so much attempted erasure, it’s even more important for us to reclaim our history. Archives are where our stories continue to live, sites of both resistance and preservation. Personal archives are just as important as the ones you see on display — #BuildYourArchive as the brilliant @sierrachasity would say 🌹 Join me Thursday, February 12th at 7pm at @grpubliclibrary for my first history talk, Lifting as We Climb: The Grand Rapids Study Club and the Legacy of Black Women Cultural Workers where we’ll dig into the foundations of the Black Women’s Club Movement together.
