María José Sotomayor-Giacomucci, MSS, LSW, is a social worker and trauma therapist at the Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy in Media, PA. She draws upon her extensive experience working with immigrant and refugee communities to shed light on the profound impact of migration and the challenges of adapting to a new country, language, culture, and customs. Specializing in issues of trauma, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions, Maria Jose is uniquely positioned to provide valuable insights into the complexities faced by migrants and refugees. In her upcoming talk, she will explore not only the struggles these communities encounter but also the remarkable strengths and resilience they contribute to their neighborhoods. Through her expertise and understanding, Maria Jose aims to foster greater empathy and awareness among her audience regarding the experiences of migrants and refugees.
On May 10, 2024 following the 8PM performance

In his upcoming talk Jonathan will present “The Economics of Immigration: How current law does not meet the reality of business and life in the U.S.” By removing politics from the equation, this presentation examines the cause of our current immigration dilemma rather than focusing on its effect. Only through a reframing of the immigration debate will progress be forged. For a free consultation please email info@gands-us.com
