Dimensions highest calling is to assist leaders in recovering a deeper sense of their humanity through liberatory practice and equitable relationships.
Liberation requires us to become aware of and dismantle the inevitable ways systems of domination live within us. Freedom, the ongoing state achieved through liberation, requires this awareness profoundly. Through releasing old, habitual, behavioral contracts that uphold white supremacy in ourselves and others, and building new embodied competencies, we reclaim our bodies and inhabit our lives ever more fully and intentionally. As our experience of life is heightened and nourished by our increased awareness and capacity to choose new behaviors, rather than react to old ones, we become more able to coordinate skillfully with others from a ground of authenticity, trust, and accountability.
In applying Liberatory Practice within our systems, we aim to strengthen the infrastructure required to organize BIPOC communities, build power, and win on issues of inequity that are impacting our daily lives. Through modeling and engaging Liberatory Practice within our projects, work relationships and partnerships, we are improving Black lives and living conditions in real-time while re-centering Black leadership and liberation in broader movements for equity and justice.
BLAC: The BLAC (Black Leaders Allied for Change) Cohort creates space for Black women executives, philanthropic leaders, and senior professionals to deepen their capacity for antiracism and Liberatory Practice within a diverse and dynamic network of Black and brown women leaders. BLAC gives shape to what a Black woman’s BEing holds beyond her DOing. BLAC provides a restful space to explore leadership development, empowerment and community building within a warm and welcoming community of WOC professionals. BLAC convenes experts in the field of racial equity and beyond to explore resources that center the necessity of Black womens joy, peace, wholeness and wellbeing as measurable outcomes for successful leadership.

JWOC Resilience Circle: JWOC creates leadership conditions for Black women and women of color to experience sustained wellness and rest. JWOC programming explores rest as resistance through liberational tools for dismantling Anti-Blackness and Anti-Black Racism in the systems that BIPOC women navigate. JWOC empowers BIPOC women to examine their personal ecology practices as drivers for positive change within their lives, families, and communities.
JWOC provides Black women and women of color leaders with opportunities to heal, repair, and transform their minds, bodies, and souls. We believe in the power of creating sacred space and time that can facilitate the healing and transformation that women of color desire and deserve. We build retreat spaces with time for rest and community within our cohorts. We provide opportunities for transformation to be experienced communally and individually.
We offer both community support, and individualized educational resources. Healing and repair across our cohorts is galvanized through commitment to the practices of accountability and reciprocity within our cohort experience. Sisters deepen their liberation by offering each other their vision of community love, mother-work, and self-care. The JWOC cohort experience is a revolutionary and iterative process that provides women with opportunities for individual empowerment and leadership for community building and systemic impact.
What We Believe:
We Can Positively Transform and Heal Negative Impacts on BIPOC Womens Minds, Bodies and Souls.

The Dimensions JWOC program cultivates a sacred space for BIPOC women to re-value their experience of meaningful labor and meaningful rest. Through JWOC teachings women learn to embody liberatory practice and deepen their capacity to adopt antiracist behaviors. We provide tools, teachings, and rituals to ground women on their journey to liberation. JWOC resources accomplish this by connecting sisters with their ancestors, re-telling their stories, learning radical self-love, and healing. We learn, practice, engage in, and account for our impact as we lead together in reaching for more equitable relationships and outcomes.
