If you have the mental capacity for it, I'd love for you to join @docdefreitas and me for #UHDHoldingSpace, a conversation on collective trauma amid viral racist violence, starting in about 30 minutes. It will be good (and necessary)!

Audience members will have the opportunity to pose questions in the chat that our interlocutors will be ready to answer.

How do we respond when we must constantly witness racist violence? In this conversation, @docdefreitas and @felicialynne will draw from research and personal experiences to explore ways to hope, cope, and hold space for one another in our new—and often discouraging—normal.
