  *   The Courage to Disrupt: Being a Peacock in the Land of Penguins

Cherene Caraco CEO, Chief Global Strategist, Promise Resource Network
In this keynote, we're going on a journey of examining ways in which conformity and standardization has resulted in siloes and segregation and ultimately, how these perpetuate illness.  We will explore what it would take to flip the script, blurring the systems siloes to build unifying policy, establishing alternatives to clinical services, forced treatment and incarceration, and using our wisdom as trauma, psychiatric, houselessness, suicide attempt, formerly incarcerated, substance use, harm reduction, domestic violence and HIV+ survivors to create the opportunities for healing that we never had but critically needed.

  *   Healing and Social Change Through Hip Hop

Luis O. Lopez (DJ LOL), DJ Kareem (Jerald Jenkins), Christopher Rogers (MIC HANDZ), Celia Brown, Chacku Mathai, Amanda Saake, and Liz Breier.

We created the Healing Through Hip Hop team and workshop so we can engage each other in the examination of our collective experiences. We share and relate to our stories of embracing our power through the lens of Hip Hop Kulture. What else can we learn from each other about healing and social change? Together, we seek to value our diversity and intersectionality, engage our collective power, and change the social conditions that outraged us in the first place.
