The women of Oliver Bond House Residents Group
“The flats regeneration? We’re all at it pulling together. We're stronger now than we've ever been. So it's not about the complaints anymore now, it's about our living conditions and our health, our well being, and our mental health!”
The women of Oliver Bond House Residents Group view community work as a personal calling, putting emphasis in their motivation in early exposure to spatial segregation, stigmatization and class oppression. Their own mothers helped interpret experiences with classism and segregation and instilled in their daughters a belief in their ability to overcome these obstacles.
