OUR VOICE COUNTS
Alisha Moreland Capuia was a graduate of Portland, Oregon’s first “I Have a Dream” Foundation class. Alisha faced significant challenges and adversity as a young child, which she will share with our community.
With hard work and consistent support from her extended community and the “I Have a Dream” Foundation, Alisha went on to graduate high school, received a scholarship to Stanford University and continued her education at George Washington University where she received her medical degree. Alisha is a psychiatrist focused on trauma and addiction issues and will begin her tenure as associate professor at Harvard University this summer.
Alisha has a fascinating story to tell, which she will share with our community, along with a presentation on the impact of trauma on the brain, the human capacity to overcome adversity, and the power of education.
We look forward to sharing this special presentation with you, in partnership with The Community Library.
Alisha will also make two presentations to the Wood River High School student body, and will meet with community members and youth throughout the week of March 3-6.
