🚨 TEDx Talk Premiere: From Trauma to Healing – The 5 Rs to Restorative Justice 🚨


The moment we've all been waiting for! It’s here! 🎤✨ I am beyond honored to share my TEDx Talk, From Trauma to Healing – The 5 Rs to Restorative Justice, now available on YouTube!

In this powerful 16-minute talk, I take you on a journey of resilience, transformation, and radical healing. From my own experiences with poverty, illness, and loss to my life’s work of creating spaces for community healing, I break down the “5 Rs” of Restorative Justice:

💜 Radical Love – Love as an act of justice and healing.
🔁 Reciprocity – Building relationships rooted in mutual respect.
📚 Reimagine Education – Shifting from punitive to healing-centered approaches.
🏡 Redefine the Village – Strengthening our communities for collective care.
🌍 Restore Humanity – Centering dignity and connection in all that we do.

Restorative Justice is more than a framework—it’s a movement to reclaim our stories, heal together, and create lasting change.

📺 Watch now on YouTube!
👀 Let’s continue the conversation—drop a comment with your biggest takeaway and share this with someone who needs to hear it!

Not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because 2026 required me to sit still, reflect, and truly evaluate how I’ve been showing up—not just for others, but for myself. I missed saying Happy New Year.I missed celebrating Black History Month with you all.I missed Women’s History Month acknowledgments.
