Inclusion: Black History & Transformative Healing
General Assembly continues to be a time for us to gather, in body and spirit, to honor our history, celebrate who we are, and forge our future together. The General Assembly and Conference Services Team leads the initiative to ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are woven throughout, from planning to fruition.
We will highlight different tentacles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in preparation for our upcoming General Assembly in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 2023.
February is Black History Month when we take time to celebrate the achievements of Black Americans and honor the significant role and impact they have made on all facets of life and society throughout history. As we celebrate, we are also reminded of enslavement, racism, and discrimination Black Americans have had, and continue to have, to overcome. In this video, we will magnify historical trauma and introduce transformative healing. Transformative healing is at the heart of racial healing and racial healing is all about doing the work. Therefore, during the month of February, Black Americans both honor the impact of our greatness and challenge negative narratives in pursuit of transformational healing.
