Art and Abolition exists to heal, empower and protect a community of young women leaders in Kenya (the butterfly sisterhood) who are building successful futures for themselves while healing from the impact of childhood sexual violence.
The butterfly sisterhood is a community of young women leaders who are healing from sexual trauma or have been affected by sexual violence.
Together, they are shifting culture in themselves, their communities and the world using advocacy, education, inner work and their God-given gifts.
HOW WE DO IT
Brittanie Richardson is a Black, queer, woman of faith originally from the U.S., who now lives and loves in Kilifi, Kenya with her daughters and beloved community. She is the Founder and Artistic Director of Art and Abolition.
Brittanie is also a teacher, healer, and international advocate for other women and girls who, like her, have survived childhood sexual violence and abuse. In addition to her advocacy in that space, she also uses storytelling to support other people who share her experience of living with a mental illness. She is a University of the Arts Silver Star Award recipient and a Lifelong Dalai Lama Fellow.
