It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our DCNS participant, James S. Brown. He was an intelligent young mind who was extremely passionate about research and is missed dearly. Please consider donating below to help his family honor his life

Join clinical neuropsychologist & one of our very own Tanisha Hill-Jarrett, PhD (@TanishaHillJ), on Oct 3, discussing the importance & impact of #Afrofuturism! 🧠🧠✊🏾✊🏾
This webinar is collaboration w/ @SoBlackNeuro & @BlackInGeron.
Registration: shorturl.at/BAYcC
Afrofuturism is a way of thinking & creating knowledge that centers those at the margins of society. It is a way of excavating the stories we know to be true but have been erased from the mainstream.
Join me Oct 3 in collaboration with @SoBlackNeuro & @BlackInGeron.

Dr. Tanisha Hill-Jarrett (@TanishaHillJ) gave a great talk on #Afrofuturism & how it may promote #neuroplasticity.
She has created a program for Black women (ages 55-85) called "Radical Imagination" & is doing great work on further advancing Afrofuturism w/i Black communities.
ALT Tanisha Hill-Jarrett, Ph.D.
Have you thought about Afrofuturism as an internal driver of neuroplasticity?
@GBHI_Fellows @TanishaHillJ talk explored this.
She's developed a community engagement program called radical imagination incl. black women from the ages of 55-85 based in Bay View-Hunters Point.
