We are beyond grateful for those who have supported the work of the Global Arts and Theology Experience. We are building a global community committed to a better tomorrow for Black girls and Black women.

We have created individual giving circles that honor the legacy given to the women who make up a portion of the GATE team. We invite you into these spaces as partners for the movement we are building.

Christine's Corner

 ($2000 - $3499) 

Mary was Yolanda Norton’s paternal grandmother. She was a gentle, nurturing woman, always attentive to hospitality and care for the village. Christine’s Corner is a space for those whose gifts of hospitality are to care for the village.

Maria's Mountain

 ($500 - $1999) 

Maria is Luisa’s mother. Her strength and resilience carried her from war-torn Angola to Portugal where she reunited with family and built a family of her own. She raised two wonderful daughters and has always been dedicated to showing them that they are loved and encouraging their dreams. Maria’s mountain is a space for those who are dedicated to helping Black girls and Black women from around the world know that they are loved, and encouraging their dreams.

Suzette's Sanctuary

 ($25 - $499) 

Suzette is Melitssa’s mother. Suzette has always been a model for Melitssa and her sister about what it means to shine--to occupy space in the world and never to give up on yourself. Suzette’s sanctuary is a space for those who are committed to creating sanctuary for others, and letting Black girls and women know that it is okay to occupy space in a world that has made space for them.
