Guide:
Dr. Teiahsha Bankhead & Tyreece Sherrill
Focus Area:

Executive Director of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY), Teiahsha Bankhead is a social justice activist, a restorative justice advocate, a licensed psychotherapist and a professor with both MSW and Ph.D. degrees in social work from the University of California at Berkeley. She was a Research Fellow of both the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the United States Psychiatric Congress and served on the Family Council of Spirit Rock Meditation Center. She is co-author, with University of California Berkeley, Professor Emeritus Jewelle Taylor-Gibbs, of Preserving Privilege: California Politics, Propositions and People of Color. Born to a Black radical mother during the uprising of the Watts Rebellion and coming of age in South Central Los Angeles during the embittered racial relations and social unrest of the civil rights era ignited within Dr. Bankhead a passionate commitment to social justice advocacy and transformative community.

Tyreece has been an integral part of the Restorative Justice movement in the Bay Area, serving as an RJ Coordinator in Oakland after going through the program himself. Tyreece is an active youth voice for social justice issues and will guide mentorship sessions with Dr. Teiahsha Bankhead.
