Beginning on Monday, October 7, 2024, HOPE will begin its Fall Community Reflections. These sessions will serve as an excellent opportunity to contextualize and deepen our work at the college as we move forward. 

We will begin this exercise through the collective engagement in the Racelighting Course, created by Dr. J. Luke Wood,  the pivotal voice behind the Black Minds Matter Course. This five-part course addresses how schools, colleges, and universities can address this issue, which is distinguished from gaslighting when the messages used to invalidate the victim are racial. Racelighting is an act of psychological manipulation where Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) receive racial messages that distort their realities and lead them to second-guess themselves.
 
Community Reflections will happen in two parts: a 45-50 minute review of the course content; and 20-30 minute deep dive immediately following the session designed for participants, with a focus on group discussions and real-world applications of learning.

She collaborated with the college-wide Professional Development committee to organize a Professional Development Day in April 2021 centered around trauma-informed care and healing within higher education.
