On May 15, 2021, family, friends, colleagues and community members celebrated Onaje Jua Eagle Heart Muid on his extraordinary journey to becoming Dr. Muid. This celebration was in honor of Onaje’s persistence in self-development and as shining example for his community. Onaje received his Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Southern California and has created a non-profit organization to address trauma in the Black Community and specifically to build Black Family resilience. We congratulate our brother, Dr. Muid on his accomplishment!
