“Descended from the Promised Land shifted how I see and work with Black trauma. The images and stories of Black joy, possibility and prosperity shared by the descendants of the massacre on Black Wall street have shifted how I approach key questions in my research on supporting Black joy and thriving among activists and organizers.

GIPHY loved the screening and panel discussion around Descended from The Promised Land: The Legacy of Black Wall Street. In what felt like a living room fire-side chat, Byron’s charisma and first-hand experiences along with Nailah’s masterful storytelling and keen eye to historical accuracy was enough to captivate us. The panel served as a conduit of chronicled information and firsthand experiences, yet there’s something to be said about legacy, something Nailah is certainly building. Planning this all-too important screening and panel discussion felt almost effortless because of Evy and the Odyssey Impact® team. From the preliminary logistical stages all the way up to the night of the panel, GIPHY felt supported, confident, and heard. Odyssey Impact®’s dedication and integrity made for an event that will be revered by GIPHY employees for years to come.`

You can mandate diversity, but you can’t mandate inclusion. Inclusion is about behavior and relationships. You have to change hearts and minds.
