JOAN MACKENZIE DAVIES LECTURE 

Join us for OASW’s 2021 Annual General Meeting and our 2nd Joan MacKenzie Davies Lecture with Stephen “Buddha” Leafloor, Street Dancer, MSW, who will take us on a healing journey in his presentation titled Innovative Healing: Lessons Learned Through a Healing Journey with Hip Hop. 

Stephen will share how his own journey of healing through the arts led him to develop culturally sensitive and engaging programs for youth centered on the challenges they face while navigating a world of racism, poverty and trauma. Join him as he retells his story of surviving extreme bullying that led to the inception of his internationally acclaimed programming for disenfranchised youth.
