Iterations of the Truth
“Ebony joined our Take Back the Week initiatives providing an inspiring Survivor Centered Writing Workshop consisting of mini-writing activities while leading trauma-informed discussions around survivorship, processing, and healing through creativity. Ebony provided a powerful performance that called in survivors and supporters to join our march through the campus. It was truly a joy to have Ebony as a part of our team, her dedication to supporting survivors coupled with her communication, organization, and flexibility will prove an asset to any event.”
