(see all)A Faith-Based Movement for Black Liberation in Denver
Soul 2 Soul Sisters was created as a faith-based, Black women-led response to anti-Black violence in the U.S. Co-founded by Rev. Tawana Angela Davis, Ph.D., and Rev. Dr. Dawn Riley Duval, the organization is dedicated to honoring and protecting the lives, decisions, and communities of Black women, femmes, and gender-expansive individuals. Over the years, Soul 2 Soul Sisters has evolved into a thriving movement for Black liberation, focusing on reproductive justice, racial justice, and holistic well-being. Their work includes civic engagement, economic and racial justice initiatives, and monthly wellness workshops that provide Black women and gender-expansive individuals a safe space to recharge. Through yoga, dance, and communal activities, they foster connection and resilience while countering systemic oppression with joy as an act of resistance. Recently, Soul 2 Soul Sisters members Ash Ferguson and Niyankor Ajuaj joined The Drop hosts Sugabear and LaMolly for a conversation about the organization’s mission and impact.
Central to their mission is disrupting harmful narratives about Blackness and amplifying stories of love, success, and resilience. They prioritize mental health awareness by providing resources and connecting community members with practitioners, particularly through the Sacred Seeds Black Birth Worker Collective. Internally, the organization integrates self-care into its culture with rest days and wellness activities to sustain their work. Community support fuels their impact, and those interested can engage through their website and social media. By uplifting Black joy and justice, Soul 2 Soul Sisters continues to drive meaningful change.
