"Be the Healing: How we can use the strengths we have to heal.”

Join Dr. Joy DeGruy, author of “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome” as she takes us through a healing journey from the intersections of anti-black bias, trauma, violence and the enslavement of Black people in America to the amazing resiliency and strengths of the black community and the lessons we all can learn to stand in solidarity and heal racism.
