The Well-Come Interactive Workbook is a plain, community-rooted guide designed to help AAF members enter the Well with confidence and care.
It explains what the Well is (our shared memory place) and introduces the words we use at the Well—with clear meanings in everyday language from our multifaceted Black and Afro-Indigenous communities. It then walks members through how we move in this space: asking permission, protecting what’s tender, keeping stories tied to names and places, and refusing to treat people’s lives like content.
The workbook shows you how to start simple—by choosing one theme, asking one good question, and using easy tools like voice notes, photo-and-story captions, and keeping notes. It offers practical ways to use the Well in schools and youth spaces, community groups, and at home, and outlines ten real-life ways to give back so the Well stays living.
Finally, it includes templates, prompts, and a step-by-step “First Offering” section to help you share your first contribution at your own pace, plus a short closing section explaining what happens after you share and how AAF holds your offerings with care.
