Rootz Durham

The mission of Rootz is to cultivate and foster collective healing through movement, art, knowledge and culture that ensures marginalized communities are self empowered to have the skills, knowledge, and resources to thrive.

We believe that strong families create strong communities, and that healing happens collectively, not in isolation. Our work lives at the intersection of art, movement, and social justice. We use creative expression as a tool for political education, healing, and empowerment. Every event, circle, and conversation we host is about helping people feel seen, supported, and connected.

We’re boots on the ground—not just talking about change, but building it from the inside out. Whether through a Unity Circle, a community action, or an art-based workshop, Rootz is where people come to reconnect with their power and remember they’re not alone.
