This “Innovator Spotlight” video features La Shonda Coleman, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs at Pepperdine University and Founder of Trauma and Healing in Colour, a program that fuses art, somatic based healing modalities, training and education to promote wellness. As a licensed clinical social worker she engages faith-based communities and walks alongside young adults as a mentor, coach, therapist, and bridge.
Sharing from a Christian faith-based perspective, La Shonda invites participants to join her in a journey of self-compassion and self care. Grounding this practice in biblical teachings La Shonda uses puzzle pieces (awbw.org/connect) as a medium for anchoring a journey that is both spiritual and therapeutic.
