Quotes:
“The groups are the heartbeat of what we do.” - Latasha
“And so this work doesn’t just stop with a conversation or start with a conversation, it continues on in how you live your life.” - Latasha
“Leaders have to be learners.” - Latasha
“If you have a willing heart and you’re open to learn, and you’re in constant learning—God will cover you. God will make up for where you are missing those pieces as a leader.“- Andrea
“For the rest of my life, I will be undoing the first 40 years of my life where I grew up in a culture of not understanding the world around me.” - Margo
“When we learn to just listen without adding in our own words and our own experiences, and just listen and believe the person who is speaking to us—I think that is a huge, huge marker of growth.” - Margo
