I say thank you to… My Ancestors My grandparents and great grandparents and family who are no longer in this realm are my source of strength, guidance, and support. Thank you for carving the path and continuing to light the way. My Family My heart center lives with my family. Their love carries me forward. Especially the love of my life, Grace, along with my two doggies, Piggles and Bitsy. My Mentors Diane Rodriguez, rest in power Leslie K.

For several years, in partnership with my dear friend Elizabeth Leonard, we hosted goal setting, values clarification, and visioning workshops at the start of each year. We center people in reflection of their accomplishments from the previous year and guide them through exercises to dream and set realistic achievable goals for the year ahead. Throughout the day we introduce various self-awareness tools and anchor the work through hands-on creativity. I continue to offer values clarification and goal exploration workshops. For 2021, we went digital on Zoom with a small group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3ea164426ed81e51d6dd7c/1605063680578-YHIPXKZ5XZQI4DSYP5GD/8%252BArtists%252BZoom%252BArchive%252B%2525281%252529.jpg Work Los Angeles Performance Practice is an organization founded by Miranda Wright, devoted to the production/presentation of contemporary performance by artists whose work advances and challenges multi-disciplinary artistic practices. In June 2020, Miranda invited me to facilitate a conversation with 8 incredible Los Angeles artists as they shared their current creative needs and curiosities from decolonization, resiliency, to the microfauna growing on all of us. Artists included: Milka Djordjevich, Jessica Emmanuel, Joel Garcia, Miwa Matreyek, Alexandra Meda, Anna Luisa Petrisko, DeLanna Studi, and Kristina Wong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3ea164426ed81e51d6dd7c/1601412515318-5QB5NRH9VO1OBI7S78U2/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-09-29%2Bat%2B1.38.47%2BPM.jpg Work artEquity provides tools, resources, and training at the intersection of art and activism. artEquity offers training and consulting services to individuals and organizations on creating and sustaining a culture of equity and inclusion through the arts and culture. I am a National Facilitator Training alum. Just wrapped the webinar series BIPOC Surviving Predominantly White Institutions. Each session had around five hundred participants and we repeated the series. Also, recently was on the team for the BIPOC Leadership Circle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3ea164426ed81e51d6dd7c/1605063793149-QMFXQ0XYDG0TGFJMSJXC/KatandPG.jpg Work Culture Shift. A brilliant colleague and friend, Katrina Frye, invited me to collaborate as a facilitator to work alongside several clients on their anti-racism and equity commitments under her business moniker Culture Shift. She works with all different types of organizations to further dialogue around intersectionality, social location, and instilling equity practices. The approach is to center the folks of color in these organizations and lift up their needs while sharing strategies for the organizations to implement fundamental anti-racist policies and practices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3ea164426ed81e51d6dd7c/1605063916001-R7BDT6A33H8QTH28N1FZ/March.jpg Work March For Our Lives. The mission of March For Our Lives is to harness the power of young people across the country to fight for sensible gun violence prevention policies that save lives. I strongly believe in the work they do and the national movement they have put into action as a result of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida on February 14, 2018. They demand bold action to end the gun violence epidemic. I was a co-facilitator for their staff retreat in 2019. https://www.patriciagarza.net/new-page daily 0.75 2024-05-14
