221 - A Conversation on How Bridge-Building is Exported through Training (Part 1) with Mariah Humphries and Tania Mirón

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.
