Rewriting the Wrongs of Racial Illusions | Olivia Henry | TEDxGeorgetown

Olivia opens up on the journey to discover identity through spirituality and black girl magic. Olivia Henry is a sophomore in the College studying Women and Gender Studies along with Government. She is part of the inaugural Black Interfaith Fellowship at Georgetown’s Campus Ministry, where she is working to increase representation and resources in non-Christian spiritual practices for her fellow Black-identifying peers. With an emphasis on marginalized communities, particularly in her queer and Black identities, she is interested in finding ways to go about healing racial trauma. In addition to her passion of leveraging collective organizing to heal, through her minor in Education, Inquiry, and Justice, she is exploring the ways in which education can evolve to allow for generational uplift. In combination with her experience tutoring with D.C. Schools and volunteering at her local Boys and Girls Club, she has a soft spot for teaching and youth development. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
