Black-founded and led, Maji ya Chai Land Sanctuary is working toward Black liberation through their project to open a nature sanctuary for BIPOC healing, joy, and retreat. This residency, partnered with the Environmental Humanities Initiative (EHI), will use The Hub space for community-engaged design and planning leading up to the initiation of the sanctuary. UMN students, project leaders, and healers gathered in the space for several meetings to collaborate with and inspire one another. The meetings covered BIPOC healing; conversations about the issues of Black land ownership, design; and youth engagement.
