What was meant to be a weekend of transformation turned into a powerful reckoning. During a trauma-informed training at the Sedona Yoga Festival, participants were shaken when armed police entered a sound healing session—triggering fear and retraumatization.

This moment revealed a deeper truth: healing isn’t possible without safety, equity, and community.
The Necklace That Flies: Honoring Maggie Gee and the Legacy of Powerful Women
At a time when Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs are being eliminated or silenced, our stories become even more vital. They are living proof that history is more than a single narrative—that courage, brilliance, and service have always come from all walks of life.
The story of Maggie Gee—a Chinese American WWII pilot, physicist, and community leader—is one of those stories. And it lives on not just through medals or archives, but through a necklace, a friendship, and a chain of powerful women passing courage from one generation to the next.
We must keep telling these stories. Because when systems try to erase them, it’s our voices, our memories, and our sharing that keep truth alive.
"You can make changes. I think just one small person can make a little bit of change." – Maggie Gee
