SUMMARY:Topic: Empathy\, Equity and Diversity—from a lens of Hate and Discrimination
DESCRIPTION:This session will use the message of P.E.A.C.E. (People Everywhere Actually Coexisting Equally) as a springboard for conversation. The reality is that not everyone wants P.E.A.C.E. nor sees the need for us to interact and communicate in harmony. So many ancestors and leaders have tried to champion this ever important topic only to be greeted with hatred\, anger and discrimination. During this session participants will be challenged to:\n• Acknowledge their own biases\n• Be open to uncomfortable conversations\n• Share their feelings and experiences honestly\n• Set goals for breaking negative patterns in their lives\n• Express their emotions in a creative format\n• Become more empathetic \nMatthew Jones\nMatthew Jones also known as “Testament” is a connoisseur of anything and everything involving words.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Free Session: Is Domestic Violence a Hate Crime? (April 12th at 2:00 p.m.)
DESCRIPTION:Grace Place is glad to present the next session in its Safer Communities Project learning series. \nDescription\nHate crimes are based on a specific characteristic of a group or individual such as race\, gender\, or religion. The overwhelming majority of domestic violence victims are women.

In response\, she created Cupid’s Sting\, an interpersonal violence reduction program. The mission of Cupid’s Sting is to teach women life-saving skills through workshops on interpersonal violence\, domestic violence\, and street harassment\, including demonstration and practice of self-defense techniques. A former professor at Howard University\, she developed and facilitated workshops on dating abuse\, situational awareness\, and self-defense for her students. \nOn March 14\, 2018\, Dr. Samuel launched the Cupid’s Sting Non-Profit Organization partnering with the community to create a safer and healthier environment for families\, students\, employees\, and neighbours.
