SUMMARY:Online Program - Breaking the Silence: Native American Boarding Schools
DESCRIPTION:Between 1869 and the 1960s\, hundreds of thousands of Native American children were forcibly abducted from their homes and families and placed in more than 350 government-funded\, and often church-run\, Indian Boarding schools. These children were subjected to horrendous conditions\, suffering physical\, sexual\, cultural\, and spiritual abuse and torture. \nThey were banned from speaking their Native languages\, from traditional and cultural practices\, and stripped of traditional clothing\, hair\, and personal belongings. The express intent was to implement cultural genocide through removal and “reprogramming” Native children to carry out systematic destruction of Native cultures and communities. Many of these children never returned home\, and their fates have yet to be accounted for by the U.S. government. \nJoin us for a poignant conversation with Dr. Samuel Torres\, Deputy Chief Executive Officer for the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS)\, as he highlights and addresses the history and ongoing trauma created by the U.S. Indian Boarding School Policy. \nTorres is expected to be accompanied by a boarding school survivor. There will be opportunities for questions after the discussion. \nReservations required.

SUMMARY:Virtual Fireside Chat – Women in Philanthropy and Social Enterprise
DESCRIPTION:Join MALA for a fireside discussion centered on the leadership of women in the philanthropic and entrepreneurial space. Our special guest\, Khitam Masoud\, will sit down with MALA Co-Founder Zainab Khan to discuss her journey in philanthropy and social enterprise and share advice for other women navigating these fields.\n_______________\nAbout Khit:\nKhit is a first-generation Palestinian female immigrant born and raised in Northern California. At the age of 16\, she was emancipated by the Sacramento Courts as she avoided an arranged marriage to her first cousin. Khit has been on her own ever since with no relationship with her family or relatives since 1998.\n\nWorking multiple jobs at a time to provide for herself\, she has been trying to complete her first Bachelor’s degree since she graduated high school in 1999. Life lessons including; fighting cancer on her own\, managing mental health and disorders such as PTSD\, anxiety\, ADHD\, and depression\, and surviving through abusive relationships and sex crimes\, has made it very difficult in maintaining a 2.0 or higher G.P.A to complete a college education as a non-traditional adult student.\n\nAfter surviving cancer in 2007\, Khit moved to Chicago where she then learned more about how to get involved with not-for-profit organizations. For the past 6 years\, she has been volunteering and working at Chicago-based organizations including Imerman Angels\, a 1-on-1 cancer support organization\, as a Mentor. Angel. Khit has gained an overwhelming amount of experience and skills thanks to non-profit professionals in her life that have become some of her most trusted mentors today. Her passion for philanthropy and making an impact on women like her\, became the impetus for starting her own charity\, Blessons for Women (Blessons\, NFP). With more than 200 speaking engagements under her belt\, she has learned how to cultivate relationships within the Chicago community and beyond
