Do you recognize me?

This iChange Justice episode, hosted by Joy Gilfilen, includes a "Do You Recognize Me" lived experience story illuminated by Chene Keltz after surviving decades of emotional trauma and justice involved events that accumulated, then compounded and repeated incessantly. It provides a true story perspective that shows how we are addicted to old patterns that do not work. That is unless and until we shift the focus of our civic behaviors to helping people intercept the intergenerational domination patterns of establishment history that continue to hurt us, unwittingly, hundreds of years after these systems were originally conceived. Joy weaves some excerpts from the CommUnity Regeneration Conversations - a weeklong symposium - hosted by the Restorative Community Coalition (Sept 11-16). The RCC invited people of many types to come to the table to share their stories and experiences, while others just listened, and together they discussed ideas, solutions and projects they are working on. The episode closes with "Do You Recognize Me" a song written and performed by a local songwriter and artist, Ava Sakowski, providing the opening and closing ceremonies.
