If you’ve ever thought to yourself:
“I’ve journaled, I’ve read all the posts and bought the workbooks, but I still don’t know how to make my relationships better.”
The Relational Skills for Liberation Workshop is for you.
Relational Skills for Liberation is a three-hour interactive session to move what you’ve learned on my Instagram page and in the workbooks into your real relationships.
We’ll work on setting love-centered boundaries, being boldly authentic, and repairing ruptures so that we maintain connection both to ourselves and those we want to be in a relationship with.
Waitlist members get 20% off and 24-hour early access before public registration!
When it comes to relationships, you already know the theory.
You already know the language: boundaries, repair, non-violent communication, yet when the moment comes, you still freeze, over-explain, or say “I’m fine” when you’re not.
This is as a result of conditioning. Many of us were taught to survive relationships, not to sustain them.
Whether you were raised inside collectivistic expectations that demanded self-abandonment,
OR
shaped by hyper-individualism where you learned to protect yourself at the cost of connection…
the result is the same: you want deep, honest, durable relationships and you don’t always have the skills to build them.
What this workshop is
This is the practice space for everything we’ve been circling on Instagram and in the workbooks. Books are great, I love them. But nothing beats live learning with people who want what you want: relationships that liberate, not subjugate.
We’ll work with my framework, love-centered boundaries, bold authenticity, and repair, so you leave with concrete language, scripts, and reps in your body.
Love-Centered Boundaries: When boundaries are taught from a western lens, it’s as a way to protect ourselves, not as a way to ensure connection. In the workshop, we will be looking at boundaries not as walls, but a walkway back to each other. we’ll ask, “What do my boundaries look like when connection is the goal?” and practice language that protects dignity while keeping a path open.
Bold Authenticity: If you grew up within systems of oppression from religion to patriarchy to hierarchical-colonial-collectivism, you are no doubt familiar with the performance of care. In the workshop, we’ll examine the places you’ve flattened yourself to keep a relationship and how to show up as a person, true to yourself.
Repair (with or without reconciliation). Rupture is inevitable but repair is hard for so many of us because we were not taught to even think about it much less how to actually do it. In the workshop, we will be focusing on our side of the lane, our 1% during repair. The goal is to build the discernment to say goodbye to relationships that have long stopped being reciprocal, and to deepen the trust, vulnerability, and loving-kindness in the ones that still nourish you.
Everything is taught through a trauma-centered, neurodiversity and mental illness aware lens. There are real reasons we can’t always show up the way we hope to; we’ll name those, offer accommodations, and practice strategies that honor capacity.
A little bit about me…
My name is Christabel Mintah-Galloway, a Black queer African immigrant, nurse, writer, educator, and someone who has spent years learning and unlearning what it means to truly connect.
I started writing about and teaching this work because I know what it’s like to lose everything and realize I never learned how to stay. When I came out at 28, I lost my entire community, my family, my church, my friends.
I knew how to perform care, how to serve, how to survive. As a third-generation Jehovah’s Witness, growing up in Ghana and Nigeria, it was inevitable.
When I went out into the world, I started from scratch, building relationships, and I had no clue. I was a thirty-year-old who had zero friend, when I married my ex-wife. We had twelve bridesmaids and groomsmen, and all of them were from her side.
And what I realized was I had no relational skills, and when I’d try to make new friends, my CPTSD symptoms always got in the way. Filled with such deep loneliness, I set out on what would be a decade-long journey of building skills to relate to myself and others.
Building these skills saved me. They helped me build connections from the ground up, in love, in friendship, in community. And I feel so honored to share what I’ve learned and continue to learn with you. I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors, those who existed pre-colonization. Committed to building an equitable world, knowing that the foundation of that is a true self and relationships that liberate.
This workshop is where I share that framework with you. Relational skills aren’t just personal; they’re political. They’re how we practice liberation in real time, with real people.
Who this workshop is for…
Black folks and people of the Global South who want to heal together without diluting our truth to fit Western norms.
Queer and trans people who are building chosen family and learning what love looks like beyond survival.
People who happen to be white but are actively decentering whiteness, practicing accountability, and learning to show up relationally without fragility.
Therapists, caregivers, and community workers who want to teach, lead, and love from a decolonial lens.
Anyone committed to an interdependent future, where care is mutual, not transactional.
Who this is not for
This is not the space for people who are committed to whiteness, or domination in any of its forms.
People intent on upholding patriarchy
If you don’t believe that there real reasons why we can’t always show up the way we hope to, you’re ableist and this is not the space for you.
If your priority is protecting power, not sharing it, this won’t serve you.
