Have a Sneak Peek at our QUALITY OF LIFE SESSION
In our February session, we looked at where inequity starts and leads to quality of life differences in Pasadena. Interviews capturing community member narratives and historical references set the context for our in-class discussions led by Pasadena Public Health Department Deputy Director, Manuel Carmona, Community and Neighborhood Engagement Activist, Brian Biery, and Fellowship Center for Racial Reconciliation Director, John Williams.
Reflective learning and critical thinking are core parts of our program. We encourage you to do a little of that yourself by diving into this newsletter.
