Envisioning REPAIR: Truth and Reconciliation Event

March 23 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Storytelling is the beginning of Repair.

Envisioning REPAIR is a Truth and Reconciliation event centering Black and African American community members’ experiences of healthcare harm in Kansas City to name healthcare harms and envision repair. 

Through storytelling, video presentations, and dialogue, this event invites healthcare professionals, leaders, and community members to witness, reflect, and commit to action.

The evening will begin at 5 PM with a light reception, followed by storytelling, presentations, and dialogue from 6–8 PM. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.

This is not about blame.

 It is about REPAIR.

About the REPAIR Project

The REPAIR Project centers Black and African American community voices to name and address harms caused by systemic anti-Black racism in healthcare and biomedical science.

Racial health inequities are not accidental. They result from long-standing institutional practices, policies, and scholarship that have marginalized Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

REPAIR works toward equitable health experiences by:
  • Building authentic partnerships with community
  • Listening to lived experiences and collecting oral histories
  • Changing policies and practices within healthcare systems
  • Creating new opportunities that support historically oppressed communities
Registration Required: Space is limited.
