Participate in the National Day of Racial Healing, 1/17/23

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:34:50 -0500

As we approach National Day of Racial Healing, Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Interns, Jada Sanders and Shakira Scott-Harris are assembling a social media campaign in support of #ChangingtheNarrative (an NBC special series).

If interested in participating, submit 1-2 sentences about how you take steps to "heal" or promote change within your community; whether individually, through your career, or academics. Examples can include: "I tutor young students who have trouble reading in order to help them be more successful in their learning" or "I volunteer with a local food pantry to ensure people receive necessary goods." With your quote, please leave your name and affiliation (ex. Choice, Shriver, UMBC, etc.) so that it can be posted on UMBC's TRHT social media accounts. Short turnaround time - please use this Google Form by January 16th, so your engagement can be posted on January 17th, National Day of Racial Healing.

Spread the word!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Shakira Scott-Harris
