Summary

I could not be more thrilled to share with you a conversation that Rachel and I had this week with Latasha Morrison.

Our conversation covers topics like the history of racism in the United States, how we ended up here today, and crucial steps in moving forward. We had a ton of questions going into this podcast and as we walked away we felt a renewed sense of passion knowing that we can actually be a part of God’s plan for racial reconciliation.

Tasha is a bridge-builder, reconciler, and a compelling voice in the fight for racial justice. In 2016, she founded Be the Bridge, a non-profit organization equipping more than 1,000 sub-groups across five countries to serve as ambassadors of racial reconciliation. Numerous organizations have recognized her as a leading social justice advocate, including Facebook’s Community Leadership Program, Forbes, and EBONY magazine. Her first book, Be the Bridge, was released in October 2019, and is now on the New York Times and USA Today best seller lists!

Be the Bridge and Tasha have been one of the most formative voices for Rachel and me as we try to find our place in God’s work of racial reconciliation. I know this conversation will be formative for you as well.
