Featured Speaker Compassionfest 2019!

We are so grateful to announce C'BS Alife Allah will be our featured speaker at Compassionfest 2019. Join us for a special presentation w/Q&A on our main stage at 2pm-3pm.

C’BS ALife Allah, an author, thinker, and change maker with a pedigree in working with youth. With the guidance of his parents,he realized early on that it isn’t enough to just be a product of one’s environment, but that one must be the producer of one’s environment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He has traveled abroad to England, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. His forays into Africa allowed him to see indigenous problem solving applied to pressing issues. It was in many of these observations that he noticed that the adoption and/or forcing of western views on science and technology exacerbated the problems at hand. He also noticed that there wasn’t a full appreciation for indigenous science. When he returned to the states he realized that the disparity of science in the original community was due to a veiling of the heritage of western science being rooted in indigenous science traditions, a veiling of the presence of the original man in modern day science and a lack of the connection between theory and application to address the issues of original people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Upon his return to the states he became heavily invested in projects and programs that deal with health and wellness in the urban community, establishing Hood Health , a new paradigm of addressing these issues. He has authored, edited and contributed to numerous books including The Hood Health Handbook: A practical guide to health and wellness in the urban community and Science of Self: Man, God and the Mathematical Language of Nature. His current focus is centered around Radical Self Care. Radical Self Care addresses generational lineages of trauma within Communities of Color, introduces Indigenous practices of collective healing and utilizes innovations of Indigenous techniques to present an optimum self in the face of the stress of modern society.
