[PT2021] Take a Deep Breath Ya'll

[Jones, Monique]

Happy Saturday!

This has already been a busy semester and an overwhelming year for all of
us. So, before you read the rest of the email, take this opportunity to *take
a deep breath*. We all need it!.

As you know, Obed, D'jsha, Jalecia and I have been working hard to create
interactive and educational experiences for everyone via the Social Justice
Hours. That being said, we would really appreciate it, if you could take a
few minutes of your time to complete this feedback form.
<https://forms.gle/ywgFrymk1Ecu28mt9> It is completely anonymous and will
help with the planning of future events. *If you have NOT attended any of
the sessions, You only need to answer the first 2 questions and
submit. *Otherwise
the survey should only take around 5 minutes. Thank You in advance.

*Here are some additional resources we promised at the last session: *
