Community Support

Based in West Harlem, we bring programming to support women and gender minorities by collaborating with our community partner organizations in two key areas

Healing Arts

We offer a range of art events, exhibits, and arts for emotional wellness workshops, as well as artist mentorship programs in partnership with our local artists, art educators, and art therapists, lifting up the work of Harlem-based women artists and engaging the arts as a pathway to overall individual and community well-being. Learn more about our Creative Arts programming here.

Health + Wellness

We offer a variety of health and wellness programs which support individual and communal well-being and emotional/physical health within our Harlem-area community. Included in that is our Ayni Healing Collective collaboration which is a project of Kota Alliance focusing on multigenerational trauma-conscious holistic wellness and empowerment of our community’s young generation.

I so enjoyed and learned so much from this workshop. Junny Hibbert was knowledgeable, personable and inviting, bringing her expertise to this unique experience. I have for a while wanted to bring my art to another level but lacked the basics for making it happen. Ms Hibbert showed me I could do it fearlessly. I would recommend this organization and Ms Hibbert. I received a rich education and look forward to moving forward with my internet presence thanks to you.

Our home, the Kota Nest in West Harlem,

serves our partners and our community as a space to gather, share ideas, and collaborate. By offering our partner organizations a physical space to execute their mission, we share our resources and incubate new ideas to advance women’s empowerment.
