It should not matter if they have a different skin color or a different God they speak to. It shouldn't matter what clothes they wear, or what pronouns they use. Every person deserves love!

Dangers of Discrimination
A wealth of psychological research shows that discrimination can exacerbate stress. Moreover, discrimination-related stress is linked to mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, even in children.1,2 In this year’s examination of the state of Stress in America™, the American Psychological Association (APA) highlights the connection between discrimination and stress, along with the resulting impacts on relationships, employment and overall health.
MEET THE HOST!
Hi I am Larissa,
I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Healing with Love Summit. As the founder of Heart-Centered Academy, my journey has led me to discover the incredible power of creativity in healing. I've dedicated my life to guiding individuals towards self-discovery and transformation through the beautiful avenues of art, writing, meditation, and connecting with their spiritual essence.
My Labels: Female, Lesbian, Spiritual/Pagan, White/Caucasian, Depression, Anxiety, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, Autism, Hyper-Mobility/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Chronic Pain, Functional Gastrointestinal Disease
At the core of my mission is fostering love and acceptance. I believe that by embracing our unique labels and celebrating our shared humanity, we can create a world where love prevails. Throughout this summit, you'll meet a diverse group of incredible individuals, each sharing their unique stories while highlighting the threads that connect us all.
In addition to these inspiring conversations, I've curated creative healing exercises to deepen your journey towards self-love and acceptance. Together, we'll embark on a path of healing and empowerment, setting the stage for a brighter, more compassionate world.
Join me on this transformative journey, as we harness the power of love and acceptance to heal ourselves and our world.
This summit came about as I witnessed the hate, disguised as love or "saving" others that I have seen in the world recently. As I spoke to more and more people I realized that the hate is not the majority, they are just louder. My goal is to bring Love forward so it can be heard.
This summit does just that by sharing conversations with a diverse group of people.
My wish is for you to listen with an open heart.
-Larissa
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

What Are Hate Crimes and Hate Incidents?
A hate crime is any offense commonly defined as a crime that includes bias against another. People carry them out to target another person’s real or imagined:
Race
Origin
Gender
Sexual orientation
Disability
Religious belief
Other membership role
These actions are extreme forms of prejudice. They usually happen in light of social change, political shifts, or other forms of public debate. Those who carry out these crimes may feel that their way of life is in danger due to these changes. Because of this, they may target specific groups of people that they view as a threat. Hate itself may not actually be what motivates offenders. Instead, they might act based on ignorance, anger, or fear.
In the United States, hate crimes can be felonies or misdemeanors, with penalties that vary widely by state.
Hate-Motivated Behavior
Hate-motivated behavior is a public health threat with structural, interpersonal, and individual antecedents and effects. There is a need for interdisciplinary, multilevel research to better understand the causes of such behavior and to test prevention strategies and interventions.
The last several years have seen discrimination, hate, and White supremacist ideology shift from the fringes of society to mainstream social media and political and social discourse.
Hate-motivated behavior, which is highly prevalent and likely underreported, comprises a continuum of behavior from subtle discrimination to violent crime.
Hateful acts, especially hate crimes, are rooted in biases or even the simple preferences all people possess. For some people, these biases may manifest as prejudicial or stigmatizing beliefs. Prejudicial processes happen when people engage in cognitive shortcuts via stereotypes, which are exaggerated beliefs about a group or evaluations of an object, person, or group. Prejudicial beliefs also stem from negative emotional reactions to members of a targeted group. Prejudice ultimately shows up as discriminatory behaviors directed toward another person on the basis of group membership.

GOT QUESTIONS?
You can never have too much love. Plus, you never know what you might learn from the people who are feeling the judgment of the world.
Good point. They are busy hiding from the hate that gets heaped on them every day.
These are the brave people who agreed to speak at this time. As we move forward we will have more and more people feel safe to share. Death threats for being yourself are a reality for many diverse people.
No, they want to share their stories so that others can understand what is like for them. This is a great space for learning about what makes us different, and what is the same at our core.
Because this is how we make change. We need to hear and see what others are going through.
We have included creative healing exercises with each conversation to help you process emotions and feelings that come up for you.
