Abstract
To restrain and tie up the effects of systemic racism, a greater understanding of how race has impacted black people is necessary both intra-racially and interracially. This presenter seeks to reflect on her own understandings as an African American woman and discusses relevant topics that characterize a “black experience” Her goal is to unpack her reality, incorporating theory with lived experience, and share it as a pathway to ignite a forum to propel more racial introspection, understanding, and cohesion. Audience engagement and feedback will be encouraged.
