Start the new year grounded in purpose, healing, and creativity. New Visions is an empowering workshop designed as a safe space for Black women and femme-identifying individuals, to cultivate a space to reflect, release, and set powerful intentions for the year ahead.

Join the Center for Black Literature & Culture (CBLC) alongside our friends at Best Life. During this interactive session we will blend personal reflection, community dialogue, and hands-on vision boarding to help participants visualize the futures they’re cultivating for themselves and their communities.

The event is hosted by the Center for Black Literature & Culture and inspired by our mission to celebrate and amplify the voices, stories, and lived experiences of Black people across the African diaspora. Participants will also be introduced to selected books from the CBLC collection that explore themes of self-discovery, wellness, and purpose by Black women authors.

Participants will leave with:

  • a clearer sense of their personal intentions for 2026
  • a vision board representing their goals and dreams
  • a list of empowering books by Black authors to accompany their self-work throughout the year 
  • a renewed sense of connection, affirmation, and community

About the branch

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
