Sandra Killett is a well-respected social justice organizer and parent advocate in New York City (NYC). She believes in using a strength based approach in working with families involved in the child welfare system. Her goal is to prevent the unnecessary removal of children from their families and communities.

During our conversation, Sandra will unpack more than her motivation. She will demonstrate self-love and liberated love for Black people. Sandra goes deep into her ideas of justice, advocacy, and the emotions that currently hold her attention. You are invited to recognize that you can make a difference and that opportunity is right in front of you.

MJ leaves you with this to consider:
1) How are you causing harm and what are you willing to sacrifice?
2) Are you supporting or policing Black communities?
