This innovative training experience will cover strategies for infusing Black history and culture into 2021 holiday celebrations

The November/December 2021 holiday season is underway, and most of us have already begun implementing our holiday plans and celebrations. For educators, parents, and clinicians of Black children, NOW is a perfect time to engage in activities aimed at enhancing Black children’s racial identity by infusing Black history and culture into their holiday plans! In this FREE, virtual, training session; Dr. Cirecie West-Olatunji and Dr. Constance West will teach simple, fun, and evidence-based interventions aimed at enhancing Black children’s racial identity development, emotional well-being, and academic performance.

These interventions will target the following areas: culture-centered decorations for the school, home, and/or clinical setting; gift ideas; activities with children (and their families); and resources. This innovative training session will be interactive (will participants being allowed to share their favorite examples). In addition, this session will include musical selections by Mr. James West (pianist/organist).
