Event

Join us for the Asian American Across the Disciplines Series in conversation with Mckayla Warwick, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Collective Climb.

Hosted by Dr. Sonya G. Chen, Panda Express Postdoctoral Fellow in Asian American Studies in her course "Policing, Prisons, and Asian America." 

Mckayla Warwick is a restorative justice practitioner based in Philadelphia, PA. While she arrived here in 2016 to complete her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Urban Education, and Africana Studies from the University of Pennsylvania, it has been the relationships that keep her deeply rooted in place. To express her gratitude for all that Philadelphia(ns) has given her, she co-founded Collective Climb, a Black-feminist organization that empowers youth, especially BIPOC girls and femmes, and communities in healing from interpersonal and intergenerational harm through art and restorative processes. And truthfully, this work is healing her spirit too.
