In light of the recent global protests against racism, calls to #DefundThePolice and the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, one question has been repeatedly asked:

“How can the Black community create sustainable change for ourselves?”

The first discussion we hosted focused on why it is important for our community to focus on sustainable change.

For part two, this panel will look at the intersections of healing and institution building. Institutions are reflections of the people that build them. We will focus on the ways that healing can positively impact the development of Black institutions.

In light of the recent global protests against racism, calls to #DefundThePolice and the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, one question has been repeatedly asked:
“How can the Black community create sustainable change for ourselves?”

This discussion will focus on attempting to answer that question by focusing on one word: infrastructure.

Structural racism/white supremacy have always created roadblocks to our community building the necessary framework to protect and provide for our communities. Many of us are exhausted with talking about “the problem” and want to build more sustainable solutions to the many challenges our community faces.

Panelists:
Bakari Jones, Business strategist
