celebrations sometimes mean having - or avoiding - difficult
conversations about race. If you'd like to be better equipped this year, then the White Ally Toolkit might be a good resource for you.
This workbook helps white people learn how to be allies to
people of color by teaching how to using active listening, empathy, and
personal story telling to promote racial equity. RSVP to Pastor Jeff at jeff@hotmetalbridge.com. |
