 Big Sandy Community and Technical College will be celebrating the eighth annual National Day of Racial Healing January 16th. BSCTC is inviting locals to join conversations designed to share truth, deepen relationships and build trust throughout the community. The whole point of this event is to bring about racial healing and the idea is that racial healing is at the core of racial equity so we really can't have one without getting both of those pieces together and just to brag about Big Sandy a little bit, we are actually the only racial healing center in all of Kentucky and so we take great pride in that and hosting these healing circle events with our trained facilitators is our way of like trying to combat racial inequality and strive for racial justice. Appalachian wireless just can't stop themselves. We have the iPhone 13 128 gig for a penny with a two year contract on the mix and match or unlimited plan, new or renewed line. While supplies last, one penny for an iPhone 13. We are you. We are. Appalachian wireless. The discussions are free to attend and will be held at the Prestonburg campus from 9 a.m. to 10 15 a.m. and the Pikeville campus from 12 25 p.m. to 1 40 p.m. We actually start off with keystones and so we go through ideas of what this space entails, what we're looking for. The biggest thing is that everyone's welcome to the conversation. We break out into dyads, which means that you're going to be partnered up with someone and you'll have a prompt and you'll discuss that for about 10 minutes or so. And then we'll come back all together as a group and share out what it felt like for you to be the listener, what it felt like for you to share. Often in these instances, you are being vulnerable and you're sharing things that you probably haven't had to verbalize before. And so we try and create the space where everyone feels comfortable. The intent is that you go off into the world and take that knowledge and understanding that you've gained and interact a little bit differently based on hearing other people's stories and how we're all just human and we're all just trying to get by.
