The multi-media stage presentation "Shattered Glass" demonstrates the healing power of the arts.

Keynote speakers include Shaunelle Curry, executive director of Media Done Responsibly; and Kelley Nicole, executive director of Harvardwood, a global nonprofit organization of Harvard alumni and students working to strengthen ties among the arts, media, entertainment and education.
Curry is an author, poet, master's level educator and advocate for women and youth.
