We are excited to launch our new SEW-REDI speaker series with Micah Marie Johnson, Miami multi-hyphenate creative and executive leader of the Miami Poetry Club! Join us for an enlightening journey into the transformative power of poetry and discover how the art of crafting words can serve as a profound tool for healing, self-reflection, and empowerment. In this interactive session, we’ll delve into the intersection of poetry, determination, and self-care, exploring how poetic expression can be a catalyst for personal growth and resilience. Micah will guide participants through a hands-on poetry writing exercise, tapping into their creativity and inner strength. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the healing potential of poetry and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. This series is part of the SEW-REDI Initiative, led by YWCA South Florida and funded by The Children's Trust of Miami-Dade County . Register at https://lnkd.in/eNtMmeVd

We embarked on our Community Justice Challenge yesterday with an eye-opening discourse on Medical Abuse and Informed Consent. Did you know that maternal death rates are highest among Black women, and these rates have more than doubled over the last twenty years? The roots of these health disparities trace back to centuries of racism and still contribute to the medical stereotypes against Black people that exist today. How can we in the social justice community engage in partnerships with marginalized groups to prevent medical abuse and promote health equity? What steps can be taken to hold healthcare institutions and providers accountable for racial medical abuse? #CommunityJusticeChallenge #HealthcareEquality
