Dr. Natalia Lopez- YDEV Retreat
Saturday's retreat was an empowering experience for me. I feel more connected to my YDEV peers. From being vulnerable with one another, we became more of a family. All I can say is, I wish I could turn back time and relieve the whole experience.
People may hear the word Race and think they can easily define it. But it's a complex word that has a complex definition. When we were working in groups last Saturday, I found it difficult to come up with what I think Race is.
Dr. Natalia Lopez’s explanation about the origin of the History of Race in US starting in 1779 was information that was new to me. I am making a commitment to learn more about the five I's of Racism as well as the School to Prison Pipeline.

Hi Essence, your points are very similar than mine, I will just add that the learning of race does not end here, it continues to depress our community,as well as our well-being. We need to change our strategies so our approach about this topic could create a bigger and positive impact for all.
