Grateful to the Fulbright Chronicles for sharing this powerful story and for continuing to elevate voices that center healing, culture, and community.
In “A Fulbright Journey of Global Healing in Barbados,” Dr. Lauren D Pitts-Bounds offers a deeply reflective look at how the Fulbright experience can evolve beyond research into a meaningful exploration of identity, trauma, and belonging.
