This year’s summit, DEI: Nurturing the Heart, Mind and Soul, explores the role of the arts in supporting our humanity (heart), mental health and wellness (mind), and religious/spiritual diversity (soul).These topics are distinct and interconnected, as each addresses components of self-identity and influence in the world. Additionally, as we reflect on our experiences navigating a global pandemic and the social justice issues that were illuminated over the past two and a half years, this theme assembles some important aspects of our coping toolkit.

The Community Assembly will include:
- Dr. Dena Scott, Clinical Psychologist with Headspace Health
- Dr. Todd Boyd, Media Commentator, and Hip Hop Scholar,
- Sarah Hurwitz, Spiritual Advisor, and former First Lady Michelle Obama's Chief Speechwriter
