Bouncing Back: Building a Resilient KC Community
September 24, 2016 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
$15
KVC is proud to be a member of Resilient KC, a community-wide effort to build a trauma aware and resilient community in Kansas City.
Join us for an inspiring community dinner with keynote Shaka Senghor, author of Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in American Prison. Oprah Winfrey once called her conversation with Shaka one of the best of her entire life.
Shaka’s TED Talk, which he delivered at TED’s 30th Anniversary Conference in 2014, received a standing ovation and has been viewed more than 1.3 million times. The focus of this dialogue is atonement, nonviolent conflict resolution, and getting to the root: hurt people hurt people. Join us for a conversation about building a resilient KC for this generation and the next.
5-6 p.m. Registration/Networking at Info Tables
