Rewire Community @ DVHS Healthy Connections
What a way to close out Teen Dating Violence Awareness month- spending the afternoon with the youth in Dougherty Valley High School (DVHS) in San Ramon, as part of their Wellness Centerโs Healthy Connections event!
It was an opportunity to speak to healthy boundaries and relations, share local community resources and drive overall awareness around interpersonal violence and teen dating violence.
Shoutout to the DVHS youth leads who led our interactive โself-care and wellnessโ quiz. Students also came to the table and to fill hearts with their thoughts on what self-care means to them- all put on the canvas with โWillieโ (DVHS mascot). The final piece has been gifted to the DVHS Wellness Center!
It was additionally wonderful to be standing next to some of the youth-led orgs โ Project Morph and City of San Ramon Teen Council!
Hereโs to safe spaces, self care and creating a world free of violence.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Open Mic
Love. Rebel. Community. Trust. Education. Wisdom. Allyship. Assignment. Clarity. Tireless champion. Vigilance. Courageโฆ.Just some of the many words we heard on Jan 15 at the gathering to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.โs legacy and work.
A powerful afternoon with spoken word, music and movement, hearing about the journeys, experiences, vision and commitments of those present!
โWe have a dreamโ- said one of the youth leads, speaking about a world where all are free, equal, safe. Another younger one reminded us โItโs been a long time coming, but change is gonna come!โ Oh how the youth showed up! Not to miss the youngest speaker who closed the event singing happy birthday to MLK
Rewire Community brought movement to the afternoon, saluting the courage of survivors of violence, and gratitude for the advocates and activists who continue to support!
Thank you to San Ramon Valley Diversity Coalition, to the other co-hosts, the volunteers, organizers and San Ramon City for bringing us together. In solidarity.
