Women’s Wednesdays: Healthy Relationships

As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s a good time to talk about relationships. Joined by Donna Nicolls, Denise Major, and Simmone Bowe, we’re going beyond romantic and sexual relationships to consider and discuss familial relationships, friendships, and dynamics within the workplace.

Our conversation will be guided by these questions:
– What is a healthy relationship?
– What are the signs of an unhealthy relationship?
– What is the best way to set boundaries in new relationships? In existing relationships?
– How can we identify toxicity?
– How can we assess our relationships?
– How can we, in the family, workplace, civic organization, church, and friend group help each other to form and maintain healthy relationships, and exit unhealthy relationships?

Women’s Wednesdays highlights Bahamian women and our experiences in The Bahamas, specific to our identities including gender, race, sexuality, age, and ability. Held once per month at minimum, the events will draw women together to have conversations that bring our individual lives into focus while connecting to family, community, and national narratives.

#WW242 intentionally centers and prioritizes women and girls, and is open to the public through in-person events, livestreams, and social media activity. It is a collaborative effort of Equality Bahamas and the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas to create a safe space for knowledge-building, idea-sharing, critical dialogue, and movement-building.
