Queen Viv works at Child and Family Services as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy Director. Attending school in the mid-70s during the "busing era" gave her a broader understanding of systemic racism. She realized that a community can only be healed if the people in it practice self-care. She went on to attain her Masters in Counseling & Psychology.
