SUMMARY:ROOTED: Conversations Centering Black Families and Autism

Our Strength. \nROOTED is a four part workshop series designed to create a welcoming space where Black parents and caregivers of autistic children can connect\, learn\, and grow together.

By sharing our stories\, we build understanding. By supporting one another\, we grow stronger together.
