6. Through her experiences as a Caribbean-American immigrant, Jodie found herself
pushing to have deeper and more intersectional conversations about race, justice,
truth telling and healing. As a community organizer, writer, and restorative justice
healer, Jodie seeks to be a home where young people and elders can learn together
and create collective community responses to the transformative healing of historical
harms built in the legacy and history of slavery. Through her work with Restorative
Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY) Jodie is exploring the possibility of a national truth and reconciliation process for the United States. Jodie is the president of the Board of Managers for Coming
to the Table (CTTT).
