She will be talking about the importance of community engagement with respect to positive social change.  A resident of St. Louis, MO for the last 16 years, Rebeccah has had the opportunity to work on numerous community transformation initiatives, including the region's response to the killing of Michael Brown and its traumatic aftermath.

Rebeccah's is currently working with the Ferguson Commission to ensure meaningful community participation in the development of systems reforms that address longstanding structural inequalities.  She welcomes the opportunity to discuss public engagement and real community change.
