Reflections: Imagine That - a guided vision board experience and dream space
On January 21st, our 2026 event calendar kicked off with our 4th annual New Year Visioning event entitled Imagine That: a guided vision board experience and dream space hosted on Zoom by Afiya Shani, founder of WildFiya and Program and Events Manager at BlackFemaleProject. This year, because of popular demand, we held a second session on January 24th and also added an additional session of free space for attendees to complete their boards.
This powerful workshop is beloved for its offering of space to dream, space to connect, and a curated playlist that keeps the energy flowing. We continue to host this experience because we know how important it is for Black women to have moments to dream beyond their current reality and pour into those dreams becoming a reality. A series of prompts and activities guided attendees towards clarity and confidence around goals and desires that were then imagined through an individual digital vision board.
This year, Afiya focused on the theme of courage and recognized the year of the fire horse as inspiration of the passion, power, resilience, care, and joy we can infuse in our lives through the coming months. The extra time allowed everyone to be successful in completing their boards. Because as Afiya reminds us when we close out the workshop, completing the board is the first step, we created the space to make that possible with ease.
