"I was served lemons, but I made Lemonade."

POP RELEVANCY has officially hit the scene with our first community workshop, "I was served lemons, but I made Lemonade." An examination of Beyoncé's experience with her personal trauma in dealing with infidelity, the cycle of trauma, the historical systemic racism she and her community face, and how through a lens of trauma-informed care we can grow from Servers to Empowered Servers.  

The transition from Server to Empowered Server hinges on a critical reflection and exercise in forgiveness. Forgiveness isn't about who or what you are forgiving, it's about you! It's about releasing yourself from the burden of being wronged, victimized or harboring negative energy that just continues to harm you.

We were able to begin this journey for several professionals working in our community and serving vulnerable populations through a collaboration with Arizona Serve. Arizona Serve is an AmeriCorps program of Prescott College and their mission is to empower communities to address poverty through service and volunteerism. Emerson Kuhn and Symonne Hornaday (pictured below) designed this workshop with help from Angie Cole (www.angie-cole.com) and implemented it for the first time with help from Celia Robidoux. We had a great turn out and the workshop was received with enthusiasm!
