MERRITT Under the Direction of Tiffany King, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis articulates motherhood as both a liberal and black humanist formation that conditions black women to mother and attempts to untether maternity from the black female body. By centering maternal ambivalence—the desire and distaste for motherhood—in selected works by black women, this thesis argues that black motherhood is an ambivalent site for some black women. Motherhood can be a site of joy and displeasure; sacrifice and refusal; life and death.

    1 A JOURNEY OF HEALING: TWO-SPIRIT PEOPLES JOINING THE CIRCLE HOLISTIC WELLNESS AND RESOURCE MANUAL MARCH 2009 All Nations Hope AIDS Network - March 2009 2 ALL NATIONS HOPE AIDS NETWORK (ANHAN) A Journey of Healing: Two-Spirit Peoples Joining the Circle HOLISTIC WELLNESS AND RESOURCE MANUAL FOR TWO-SPIRIT INDIVIDUALS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS The Two-Spirit Project was financed by Non-Reserve First Nation, Inuit and Métis Communities HIV/AIDS Fund. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the funding agencies or the All Nations Hope AIDS Network. Content compiled by Wesley Keewatin, Two-Spirit Project Coordinator Edited by Bev Cardinal, Project Consultant Regina, Saskatchewan March 2009 All Nations Hope AIDS Network - March 2009 3 DISCLAIMER Many teachings introduced in the Two-Spirit Project manual were not defined by which First Nation group gave the specific teaching. Each teaching is only a reference and each individual is invited to find his/her own identity within his/her own First Nation group. The teachings vary from nation to nation although there are similarities. These teachings were introduced to show the significance of the teachings and how they may apply today. It is very important for the individual to find his/her own First Nation’s teachings because it is in the relevance of the teachings that connections are made with our ancestral memory. It is with this connection that the healing journey begins for many Aboriginal people. This manual also relies heavily on external sources and materials. Every effort has been made to accurately identify and credit the primary sources of this information.

This year we had an opportunity to get to know one another even better and break internal barriers that are inevitable for such diverse and wide-spread network as ours. This year meeting's overarching theme was solidarity & sisterhood: between countries, cultures and generations. We brought together African, Latina, Arab, Asian and European voices and the youngest of our participants celebrated her 14th birthday in Rabat. For three days, we worked - individually and collectively - on ourselves and our network's capacity to create a strong vision of the world in which women are afforded the space to generate, lead and sustain real positive change. We did this through feminist consciousness raising, critical debate, physical exercise and art. This report is a summary of activities and moments that filled this meeting in Rabat with reflections, laughter, tears and most beautiful memories...Thank you everyone who made this possible ! "We should always strive to identify leaders among migrant women. We should support them and encourage to be active not only in their communities but wider political life. A lot of these leaders are here with us in the network. We should not be afraid to put ourselves forward, be nominated, run for positions of power...even if we don't succeed it is important to be role models and send a message to other migrant women that our leadership is possible.."

For more on first-wave womanist perspectives on Christian categories, includ- ing sacrifice, servanthood, and unmerited suffering, see Williams, Sisters in the Wilderness; Grant, White Women’s Christ and Black Women’s Jesus; and Weems, Just a Sister Away. 5. In addition to these fields, womanism critically engages a variety of disci- plines and theological perspectives by helping to expose ways in which racist- classist-sexist-heterosexist and other oppressive norms may operate within the approaches, methods, and studies of various perspectives within religion. 6. For more information on the argument of this sort, see Katie G. Cannon, Black Womanist Ethics (Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1988). 7. Contrary to the attitudes of some white feminists who saw themselves as “sep- aratists” and noninclusive of men, Walker’s term “womanist” suggests that including black men in the movement of affirming black women is essential.
