Rehearsing the Times Panel Discussion

With Dabrina Sandifer and Jennifer Decker, and moderated by Karen Schlag.

This panel discussion will talk about how “art imitates life”. To discuss how we have so many pieces of literature, films, and plays, that continue to go through a cycle of violence and hardship and how it affects writers, directors, and actors. We will discuss how we can use platforms to advocate and connect. And when is it a great time to inform children of what’s taking place in the world and how we do it?
