GAACC April Women's Club Meeting

Description

Finding Your Voice as a Person of Color

For a person of color, finding your authentic voice can be difficult in a society that often tells us to be something other than ourselves. In this presentation, we take a look at racial trauma and the effect that it has on our physical and mental well-being. We also discuss how to start healing from that trauma, unlearn harmful mindsets, and use our authentic voices to advocate for ourselves and our communities.
