CommUnity Conversation Circle

About this event

This is a safe and accepting space for participants to discuss topics that can be complex and emotionally charged. Participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery about the concepts of race, ethnicity, and identity. By listening with attention and speaking with intention, we will unite to achieve the ultimate goal of healing our city, state, and nation. There will be a follow-up book talk after the session for those who are interested. The Circle format is not a lecture or presentation and attendees must be prepared to engage in safe, healthy and respectful dialogue. As the legendary civil rights activist Rep. John Lewis said, "We've come too far; we've made too much progress to stop or pull back. We must go forward. And I believe we will get there." Facilitated by Nana Becoat, YWCA Racial Justice Committee Member
