Hi, I brought Yolantha Harrison-Pace, an artist and art writer from Louisville, KY to the 2010 SAH conference. She was a hit there and was invited to go to Singapore by another member of SAH. Yolantha and I are still in touch and we are working with the HUD Veterans Affiliate Group Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, Math and Medicine - STREAMM 50 State Pipeline. This is a good opportunity for us to work with Nat'l Vets and Black Lives Matters. Lynn Crandall, Los Angeles. This is for Share

Oh, I forgot to say that Yolantha is African American and, I think some American Indigenous.

I need to hop off. thank you all fo rthinking about our own perspective, our own need for self-education, caring and opening space to hold this conversation. I'm continuing to think about how we can use the arts as the vehicle to open space for talking circles, for sharing viewpoints, for creating safe space.

Thank you for providing a safe space to connect over these crucial conversations.
