No More Shame!<\/p>\n
Shame is a spirit. It is a spirit that has held mankind hostage for centuries and continues to do so. Broken down acronymically, shame is \u201cStill Hurting And Marginally Existing.\u201d Shame is toxic and detrimental to both the spiritual and natural well-being of those who surrender to its oppressive stronghold.<\/p>\n
No Mo Shame will facilitate innovative sessions that speak to current issues at the core of living with Shame; make use of culturally appropriate tools for spiritual enrichment; provide an interactive skill-building workshop to increase self-efficacy, and increase participant\u2019s capacity to overcome barriers \u2013 in most cases, caused by stigma, racism, fear, classism, homophobia, and\/or a poor self-image. <\/p>\n
No Mo Shame\u2019s vision is to aid the process of ridding individuals of shame through motivational and enlightenment sessions that seek to heighten participants\u2019 self-image, self-respect, healing, and affirm living a future free of shame. <\/p>\n
