Hosted By: Michigan Transformation Collective From January 17-21, 2025, Kalamazoo will come alive for a bold and inspiring 5-day celebration of the National Day of Racial Healing 2025! This year’s theme, "How We Heal," invites everyone to explore the transformative ways we foster healing and justice across our community. Through healing circles, reflective journaling, and heartfelt storytelling in safe spaces, participants will have opportunities to pause, process, and connect. Workshops and dialogues on racial equity and community resilience will provide valuable insights and actionable steps toward justice. Creative expressions such as painting, poetry, and dance will serve as powerful tools for healing and transformation, while diverse narratives will be celebrated, honoring truth, resilience, and cultural richness. The celebration will also include interactive events and community dialogues designed to build empathy and unity, fostering meaningful connections that inspire lasting change.

This is more than an event—it’s a movement. Be part of meaningful conversations, unleash your creativity, and forge connections that inspire change. No matter where you are on your journey, this celebration is for you. Let’s come together to honor Kalamazoo’s vibrant voices, shared humanity, and collective commitment to equity, unity, and justice.
