Acknowledging the importance of understanding one's social location or oneself in context, this course accentuates the potency of storytelling and the imperative of amplifying marginalized voices. Through the dual lens of trauma exploration and self-awareness, participants actively engage in the empowering practice of counter-storytelling.

 Grounded in Afro-feminist activism, decolonial theories, and queer perspectives, the course equips participants with indispensable tools and language to narrate their stories, identify their location and contextualize them in light of their communities. It fosters meaningful discussions on racial injustice, inequality, storytelling, and empowerment. As we delve into self-understanding and conflict mediation skills, we not only enhance personal growth but also contribute more effectively to the well-being of our communities.[Auditors With Faculty Permission]
