Mirroring & Magnifying 5/16: I’m grateful to NPQ for lifting up a conversation on Black women’s leadership in the social sector, and loved reading each of the pieces in the latest magazine. James Baldwin said: “The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other's light.” Here’s to #mirroringandmagnifying the light of all the authors in this issue. To Dr. Yanique Redwood: I deeply appreciate your call for restorative/transformative justice practices in the third sector. People have trauma from the workplace just like they have trauma from their childhoods and relationships — and yet we never talk about it, and as you said, don’t have the interventions and infrastructure to help us repair that kind of harm. I love the way our pieces are in conversation with each other on that front. Curious for others out there: what infrastructure have you seen or used that has helped repair harm in the workplace? https://lnkd.in/eSem5D5m

What: 13th annual Regional Justice Leadership Summit presented by the South AL Center for Fair Housing Theme: “Building Beloved Communities” The Summit’s theme is centered around building the beloved communities that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned involves creating inclusive, equitable, and compassionate societies where all individuals are valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. Purpose: The summit aims to raise awareness and build understanding of the historical and contemporary effects of redlining impacts on Gulf Coast communities. Additionally, spark conversation and meaningful actions that would begin the process of reversing the lingering negative effects caused by redlining in communities of color across America that happened decades ago. Who: Those who should attend and would greatly benefit from the summit include the community at large, community organizers, academics, policymakers, elected officials, nonprofits, real estate professionals, insurance professionals, banking and lending professionals. When: Three days of empowering programming to spread awareness and to ignite action among citizens and community partners to advance the communities right to healthy safe and fair housing.
