We’re sad to see DJ Jubilee stepping away from mentoring/coaching youth after all these years. ❤️ As out Founder/CEO @dsherve says, “Trauma is the underbelly of violence," so until our youth heal, how can we expect the violence to go away? #SadNotBad https://t.co/88DeyHjoin

2/2 In a recent interview our CEO @dsherve stated, “Trauma is the underbelly of violence. If we don't help people through suffering, it can turn into violence." So how does trauma intersect w/incarceration & violence? How does healing impact these systems? https://t.co/Pz2aSqOt3N
