Back up my thoughts with the stats. Speak on American history regarding race that most of us aren't taught in school.

There are moments from this group where things that were said or phrases that stuck out to me. One main one was “You can’t have Reconciliation without Recognition.” That was key to me and one that I plan to use moving forward in discussions I have with others to hopefully help bridge that divide. Since it comes from personal experience with my son, I feel people will sometimes be more opening to listening when they can correlate that with what experiences he’s personally gone through. -Karen

share knowledge & show everyone around me the kindness/ acceptance we should all hold in our hearts.  Treating everyone with respect and love will inspire those who may be a few steps back to do the same :)

When something comes up in conversation that is inappropriate or racist that I address it then and there and not be fearful.  Stand my ground.

I will share the facts and what I know and what I'm learning with people, but do it in a loving manner. Instead of getting angry because they aren't where I am, I can recognize they are on their own journey and show love and patience without backing down. - Chelsea

Keep reading, listening and learning.  Dedicate time for it weekly. Journal when I have frustrations.

Continue to challenge myself when a racist or stereotypical thought cross my mind and ask myself why I'm having that thought and where it came from, so I can rise above.

Continue to research and learn through reading and listening to podcasts/sermons so I can continue to engage in conversations with honesty and actual knowledge (Rachel)

Continue to engage in conversation and dialogue with those that are for you and against you. Ask hard questions. Reflect. When you see something you do not understand, look into it more.

Having difficult conversations regardless of the environment. I've let a lot of unacceptable behaviors pass because I was in a supposedly "professional" environment. It's been exhausting. Moving forward I will have those conversations. There's a way to be direct....and polite.

I will keep learning through books, probably. I like online articles, but I've ready some really challenging books that give me a more in depth perspective and that's what I want. A lot of tears, a lot of learning. - Chelsea

You HAVE done a great job. And I loved that the group contained many different experiences and walks of life so it gave a broader perspective of where everyone is at in life.

Would it be possible to have a chunk of time to discuss current events during the meetings?  Obviously events surrounding race.  I would love to discuss the issues in the news and here what some black women say about the protest, etc.....

Just want to say a BIG thank you to the leaders for facilitating this group and for allowing us to be a part of it, no matter where we are or which church we are from. I know that I was desperately looking for a way to combat this racial issue in our country and this group has given each one of us healing as well as tools to continue to do the work. Also it was refreshing to see racial justice addressed from a God-centered standpoint and I really needed that.
