YWCA's National Day of Racial Healing: An Evening with Dr. Thema Bryant

NATIONAL DAY OF RACIAL HEALING: AN EVENING WITH DR. THEMA BRYANT

Tuesday, January 18 | 8:00pm

The National Day of Racial Healing is a time for contemplating our shared values and engaging together on #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism. Launched on Jan. 17, 2017, this day is observed every year on the Tuesday following Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and is an opportunity to bring all people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more equitable world.  Fundamental to this annual observance is a clear understanding that racial healing is at the core of racial equity.

Dr. Thema Bryant is President-Elect of the American Psychological Association, minister, sacred artist, author, and host of The Homecoming podcast. She is currently a tenured professor of psychology in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University, where she directs the Culture and Trauma Research Laboratory. Her clinical and research interests center on interpersonal trauma and the societal trauma of oppression. Dr. Bryant is a past president of the Society for the Psychology of Women and a past APA representative to the United Nations.
