Education through the arts

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization concluded filming the docu-series Our Humanity with Thomas LaVeist. OUR HUMANITY is a timely docu-series discussing the most pressing issues of representation, inclusivity and justice around Black, Brown, and Indigenous Health. one of the most prolific and gifted athletes of our time being forced to withstand personal attacks and body shaming throughout her entire career. This bigger-picture pervasive bias, trickles down into the most intimate and vital aspect of our humanity: our bodies, our health. The Organization also developed and implemented Building Bridges: The Power of the Human Spirit a Workshop developed for Kaiser Permanente Difference Maker Conference. This workshop is designed to engage, elevate, and inspire us all to actionto harness the power and potential we each possess to be a Difference Maker right where we are. Consider Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Benazir Bhutto, Jane Adams, Patsy Mink, and Wendy Red Starr. All of them were Difference Makers. They amplified the power of the human spirit and left . Today, as you journey through this workshop experience you will hear several stories. Each of the individuals telling these stories is unique. They will share stories from their own experiences. As we reflect on these stories, I invite you to consider where you might find yourself in each of them. The power of a Difference Maker is also the power of a Story Teller. We can all be a Difference Maker and leave an imprint on someone elses story or we use our own story to transform our family, our community, or even the world.
