Welcome to the Be the Bridge podcast. Be The Bridge exists to empower people and culture toward racial healing, equity, and reconciliation.

Latasha Morrison founded Be The Bridge in 2016 to foster needed dialogue and brave spaces, and to give people the tools to pursue racial justice.

We provide resources and community to do just that. And this podcast is one of those resources.

You'll hear interviews hosted by Latasha and our team, conversations about current events,

and encouragement for your racial literacy journey.

Thank you for listening, subscribing, and engaging in this important work.

Be the Bridge Community. Listen, I am so excited.

We are recording this actually a couple days after a life change in election that we just had.

And I'm so grateful to have Jerilla Prevlon here.

And I'm going to introduce her and we're going to dive in.

We're in the season of Abb before, we're going to be talking about Abbott. We're in

the season of Abbott as we are posting this. But before that, I asked her if she, you know,

with her background and trauma healing, we're going to talk through what some people may be

feeling, even in this, in this moment. So Jerilla is the founder and

executive director of Elevate Her International Ministries, her professional career in counseling and

pastoring, and international ministry spans over 20 years. She was born in Haiti, the fourth daughter and a family of

eight. Her career and ministry today are because her parents sacrifice immensely for the sake of

their family, entering an immigration process to the United States that span many hardships over

several years. She is the mother of three adult sons, and she now lives in New Jersey with her husband, Fresnel.

And you can learn more about her.

We're going to post this all in the transcript.
