HELLO, AND A BIT ABOUT ME
I'm Rebecca (she/her), a racial/community justice facilitator, interdisciplinary artist, and former civil rights attorney working with communities to see and heal internalized oppression and pain to move culture and practices toward equity.
My sessions center on guiding individuals to begin compassionately holding their discomfort and questioning long-held beliefs in order to cultivate self-awareness, meaningful connection, and community justice. Rather than working with communities to say and do the "right" thing, we unpack history, assess its present-day impacts on us, and strategize about how to move forward for long-term institutional, internal, and interpersonal change.
With an artist's heart, my undergraduate degree is in theater performance, and I continue to investigate the world through sound and movement. I went on to study and practice civil rights law where I attained a critical analysis of systemic oppression and engaged with the judicial and legislative systems as an advocate for justice. Those experiences came with me into to the classroom where I taught artistic activism, community building, and know your rights courses spanning from the law school to the high school environment. Now, I fuse all of those experiences to create community sessions that speak to various learning styles, incorporate creative expression, and offer deliberate actions for change.
