Areva Martin – Celebrating a Ribbon Cutting & Reclaiming Black Land

As the Founder and CEO of the Special Needs Network, Areva Martin was recently joined by Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell and St. John’s Community Health for a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting of the Jacqueline Avant Children & Family Center. What was the inspiration and the journey like to make it all happen?

Hundreds of Black and Mexican families were forcibly and illegally evicted by the City of Palm Springs, CA from their privately owned houses in the Section 14 neighborhood in the 1950s and 1960s. They were literally burned out of the area. Areva is working to remedy this for the families.

We will get into this and so much more. Join us for this conversation. It promises to be incredible.
