On February 02, 2021, SJFVC's Rabiah Rahman was a guest speaker at the Ventura County Board of supervisors meeting where she presented a "Moment of Inspiration" celebrating 2021 Black History Month. Rabiah reminded us that Fredrick Douglas once said, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress". Additionally, she then goes on to emphasize the need to "celebrate the struggle of black people while at the same time acknowledging their many accomplishments".
