SUMMARY:PWN Wine & Words
DESCRIPTION:PWN is proud to host a presentation by Dr. Evisha Ford\, founder and Executive Director of the iCan Dream Center\, an organization that serves students in the south suburbs of Chicago who are marginalized by neurodiversity\, disabilities\, trauma\, and other learning challenges. \nShe will be discussing the book\, “Spice & Spectrum: Recipes for Resilience”\, by author and celebrity chef Jerome Brown. Chef Brown partnered with iCan Dream Center in the creation of the book\, and is donating all proceeds to the organization. \n“Spice & Spectrum” is a collection of Chef Jerome Brown’s most recent recipes broken into five sections that align with the iCan Dream Center mission – Dream\, Restore\, Empower\, Amplify\, and Mobilize. Throughout these sections\, Dr. Evisha Ford shares the mission of the organization\, stories of students navigating trauma\, and the healing benefit of the organization’s culinary program. \nStudents with autism (neurodiversity) and disabilities are nearly twice as likely to be suspended or expelled from school than their non-disabled peers. What’s more\, 35% of inmates in juvenile lockups have some form of neurodiversity (autism\, ADHD\, et. all) or other learning disability. \niCan Dream Center seeks to empower students with autism and other learning deficits with the skills needed to thrive in life\, and to defy the statistics. Whether it is giving students opportunities to grow as student leaders\, gaining vocational skills\, self-advocacy and self-care skills like cooking\, the organization works with students individually to thrive. \niCan Dream Center is a 501c3 nonprofit therapeutic school endorsed by the Illinois State Board of Education who serves dozens of school districts throughout the suburbs of Chicago. \nProceeds from the book will help iCan Dream Center fund their own social enterprise that will help students practice their vocational skills in partnership with their social workers\, instructors\, and fellow classmates. \nChef Jerome Brown\, who has championed the iCan Dream Center cause\, has shared his passion for cuisine with a variety of A-list entertainers\, dignitaries\, and elite professional athletes such as President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama\, Shaquille O’Neal\, the late Collin Powell\, Priscilla Presley\, Star Jones\, Raymond Felton\, Lamman Rucker\, Carl Gustaf (King of Sweden)\, Byron Cage\, Mike Bibby and more. \nHe was cast in the premiere season of the Food Network’s reality show “Extreme Chef\,” and appeared in the United States Army series “I’ve Got Skills” that aired on ESPN. Throughout his journey\, Chef Jerome Brown has always maintained a desire to help others and has given back to aspiring chefs and marginalized youth. \nWe hope you can join us for Dr. Evisha Ford’s presentation on her students’ involvement in Chef Jerome Brown’s book and the intersection of trauma\, disability\, and incarceration/school to prison pipeline. \nPWN members can purchase copies directly through the I Can Dream Center and at Dunnings Market. \nPick up a copy of “Spice and Spectrum” here. \nThis is the link to the iCan Dream Center to read more about this great organization! \nThis will be an in-person event. We hope you can join us for this great evening and important discussion from an inspirational PWN member! \nMembers Free \nNon-Members $10 \nRegister Now \n

SUMMARY:PWN Wine & Words
DESCRIPTION:PWN is proud to present Wine & Words on August 10 from 7:00-8:30\, featuring Valerie Wise. She will be discussing her book\, “Fit for Trial”. Here is her description of the book – \n“FIT FOR TRIAL is told from the perspective of a mother who lost her son twice. Once to the perils of serious mental illness and then to the Criminal Justice System which in the U.S. has become the largest institution for the mentally ill especially those who are poor and people of color\, BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, People of Color). \nThe book is a way to raise awareness about the plight of mentally ill POC as experienced through the family lens. Given recent events in the U.S. where there have been several Black men killed by police\, the knowledge that a high percentage of those men (and women) had mental illness reinforces the dilemmas that their families face: How do I get help for my loved one without putting him at risk of being seriously harmed or even killed by the very ones I am asking for help? \nThe book is also an attempt to be a voice for families with little to no resources and even less hope. The author believes that positive change is still possible and the book can contribute in some small way to that. ” \nClick here to purchase a copy of Valerie’s book. \nTo see more about Valerie\, take a look at her website. \nThis will be an in-person event. We hope you can join us for this great evening and important discussion from one of our favorite PWN members! \nMembers Free \nNon-Members $10 \nRegister Now \n
