Summary
Often, in the racial reconciliation space, progress and healing are brought about through small groups. Another effective tool in the quest for progress in this area is training. Many don’t know that corporations, non-profits, and ministries bring in our expert Be The Bridge Training Team to train their employees, volunteers, and parishioners on how to cultivate and curate safe environments for discussions on race and culture. The purpose for cultivating and curating these spaces is for the purpose of building cohesion through anti-racism. This episode gives a glimpse behind the scenes of our process and execution as well as a look at the results not only with the organizations we’ve worked with but in their surrounding communities. Listen in to this awesome discourse between our Ministry Educator Mariah Humphries and Training Coordinator Tania Miron.

“I try to emphasize on all of the inquiry calls that I get, that we are not a one and done, it's all fixed by our trainings, kind of function. You know, our trainings function more as a diving board into this journey of being anti-racist…” - Tania Miron
“...our trainings in the in the work of being anti racist do have an impact outside of companies and organizations that we've worked at.” - Tania Miron
“...I think if the leadership is on board and advocating for having these conversations and trainings, then the staff will definitely be more willing to have these discussions and then our team can be able to be effective in delivering and opening up the space to have this conversation.” - Tania Miron
