Learning Courage hosted a virtual event on January 12, 2021. The theme of this event was Resilience. This theme resonated for all of us at that time because we were approaching a year in the grips of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Everyone was fatigued from all the restrictions and losses that came with the pandemic. And yet resilience represented something we all felt connected to. We needed more of it and yet we all had to demonstrate it. And resilience is a significant part of our work at Learning Courage. Our goal is to support and promote resilience in schools by providing tools that reduce sexual assault and minimize trauma for those who have been harmed.

We were very honored that Lacy Crawford joined our event and did a reading from her work. Lacy is the author of the satire Early Decision (Morrow, 2013) and the memoir Notes on a Silencing (Little Brown, 2020), a New York Times Notable named one of the best books of the year by Time, Library Journal, and Booklist.
