Safe Black Space Community Healing Circles started in April 2018 in response to increased racial tensions and trauma after the killing of Stephon Clark, an unarmed 22 year old Black man, by the Sacramento Police. It was meant to provide a chance for Black people to deal with the rage, shock, fear, and sadness that so many were (and are) feeling.
Show guests Dr. Kristee Haggins, founder of Safe Black Space and board member Dr. Jacquelyn Ollison stop by the Full Circle studio to discuss their upcoming 4 year anniversary celebration, black fatigue, mental health resources in Sacramento, the effects of Covid on our mental health and the distinguished honor of receiving a McArthur Grant.
