About this session

Unveiling symbols of systemic racism and using them to overcome our biases.

We’ll shine a light on deep-seated symbols in popular culture that exploit the black narrative and create toxic impact.

----

Lift Every Voice & ACT! is a weekly chat series highlighting personal and provocative experiences.

In an effort to bridge our shared human experience, international artist & activist, Maryella Marie, will host an hour of storytelling and sustainable activism in order to:

  • Reflect on the Black Experience with emotional intelligence
  • Lift up Black voices to generate new experiences for a more tolerant future
  • Reeducate and propose new solutions to systematic oppression
  • End violent and bias acts against black people on a global level
  • Share useful information that will lead to healing and justice

We’ll kick off the chat with a living case study and open a round-table discussion to share stories, reflect, cry, laugh, and heal together.

We’ll close with an invitation to act by signing petitions, donating to causes, and spreading awareness to fight against racial injustice.
