PHOTOS: Still Standing ReSole 206 Fundraiser at A Space Inside
Not too long ago at A Space Inside, Dr. Ben Danielson and Abigail Echohawk had a panel discussion moderated by Sierra Jones, co-owner of A Space Inside. The conversation took the audience on a journey of examining, accepting, and declaring what is deserved by the institutions that are meant to serve, specifically in the health and wellness department. Dr Ben and Abigail co-chair the County's "Racism is a Public Health Crisis" Initiative under County Executive Dow Constantine, which seeks to mitigate the harm done by government institutions toward BIPOC communities in the area.
The event benefited The ReSole, owned by Takiyah Ward (TDUB), who on March 7th, suffered a significant loss when her business was broken into, resulting in a loss of $20k in damages.
While the conversation centered on our healthcare system, its attendees were able to connect their own experiences, whether as patients or business owners like TDUB, and understand how traumatic events can profoundly impact an individual and a community's healing process.
