Our speaker, Dr. Y. “Falami” Devoe, will focus on the importance of self and collective care. With COVID-19 fatigue as a reality, it is important to discover tools that can be used to protect our well-being in the midst of so much uncertainty.
A womanist, participatory action research scholar-activist, and poet, with interdisciplinary interests at the intersections of race, class, gender, identity, sexuality, ethnography, and pedagogy.
Dr. Devoe’s work documents Black women’s experiences of resilience, resistance, agency and affirmation and she will share sustainable practices of healing, liberation and well-being. As an executive coach, she centers self-care as a liberatory act in strengthening one’s leadership skills.
