What happens when history telling begins with the here and now? What happens when Unitarian Universalist history begins with honoring the full legitimacy of the many communities across planet Earth who claim the name “Unitarian” or “Universalist” or “Unitarian Universalist”? 

Let’s share stories of how we claim our belonging in the UU movement, and explore different frameworks for telling the story of our collective belonging. How might a meta-modern “Everything Everywhere All At Once” approach to telling the story of UUs change how we understand the UU movement and ourselves in it? Register HERE.

DRUUMM members are invited to a unique and sacred gathering with Taquiena Boston who will be sharing her spiritual odyssey. We believe in the power of sharing, passing down wisdom, and connecting our generations. Join us for an intimate, BIPOC-only evening as we form a circle to hold and witness the stories of one of our elders. This program uplifts our value of history:

Consciousness of History: By keeping the written and oral histories of People of Color within UUism we are making sure that history can be accessible and helpful to new and old members. Recognizing our place in the larger stream of history and our role as history makers, we develop individual and collective investment in our storytelling. We thank and honor our elders and ancestors, passing on our legacy and lessons to future generations. - DRUUMM Values
