2023 Black History Month Panel

Sparked by the Quote, “Trauma has been normalized in the Black community, but not HEALING.” Charlamagne Tha God – Matthew Reynolds Consulting, LLC decided to ask the most powerful movers, shakers, and history makers we know to come together as a glorious panel and hear what they have to say about this quote. The conversation featured panelists include Leslie M. Scott-Jones, Trena Bolden-Fields, Maryella Marie, Claudia Alick, and Nakia Winfield! Tuesday, February 21st 2023! 💜🔥✊🏾 #blackhistory247365 #craftingyourequitylens #freedom #liberation #diversityequityinclusion #humanityled

The quote was chosen by Matthew from a program from Resmaa Menakem. Several panelists reacted because Charlamagne Tha God has allegations of mysonioir, anti-semitism, heterosexist transphobia, and sexual assault. It was important for us to reflect on his harmful behavior. The conversation reacts to the internal anti-blackness in his quote and then launches into a rich reflective conversation about healing and the Black diaspora.
