Join NYABPsi in a community conversation on White fragility, how it impacts us, and acknowledging and accepting our feelings and reactions as we face it. Our conversation, facilitated by NYABPsi Past President Tanya White-Davis, PsyD, will allow us to come together to talk about ways to liberate ourselves towards emotional equity, and to support, encourage, and Zola (love) up on each other.

We hope you’ll join us!
