We offer a multimedia musical ritual experience about doing SOLHOT (saving our lives hear our truths), a collective practice of celebrating Black girlhood in all of its complexity. To name the ideas that matter most to us in SOLHOT: ghosts, generations, living, forgiveness, failure, grace, wisdom, movement, health, fun, love, freedom we creatively engage song, verse, poetry, and image to heal some past hurts and feel ourselves beautiful through each other’s voice, touch, rhythm, and heart beats. Each utterance of the discrete (& discontinuous) value and violence we resist through our work and those we are  also complicit in are animated through our performance to position all of us the other side of the wellness question, in order to remake SOLHOT useful to more people. This next level practice of SOLHOT sounds, beats, and bumps like afrofuturist black girl magic because it is both the art and science of black girl genius. We are unapologetically using digital wrongly to reimagine the collective, resound complex Black girlhood, remember relationships, reclaim the dirty work, and reverberate love for self, each other, and every kind of Black girl every where.
