Life Camp Founder Erica Ford talked about her new book “The Peace Doctor’s Playbook,” saying it’s more of a journal with strategies and actions to promote healing and peace for the reader.

She said making change in the community starts with one’s self and taking action will help break the cycle of trauma.

Ford discussed her experience in community healing and how she responded to a violent incident on New Year’s Day that left ten teens injured.

She said Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of equality and peace inspired her work and aligns with her own message to young generations.
