TRANSFORMATION IN ACTION WELCOMES TERENCE LESTER
SEPTEMBER 15th at 6pm PT
Mr. Lester is a speaker, activist, author, and thought leader in the realm of systemic poverty
A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOMELESSNESS AND RACE
We interview Terence about the intersectionality of race and being unhoused, and about trauma and being unhoused. We will talk with him about his new book When We Stand and he'll share how sacrifice, being proximate and the power of an invitation is really all some folks need to join us on the journey. Terence's organization Love Beyond Walls in Atlanta has been working with the unhoused for over 25 years and were instrumental in getting portable hand washing stations set up in many cities across the country when covid hit. We're thrilled to welcome him and learn from his experience and extraordinary example of compassion in action.
WHERE DO I START?
By being willing to look inward. Shifting our gaze from the obvious racists "out there" to the origins of white supremacy in our own lives. Author and educator Rachel Ricketts advises that you're not ready to do the work if you're not ready to feel uncomfortable. So let's get uncomfortable together.
