The Experience - Workshop for Alums

You’ve felt it. The grace and understanding that comes from sharing some of your most formative moments with empathetic witnesses. The feeling of being truly seen, known, and loved for who you are, not what you do. The relief that comes from healing what hurts and finding a new way forward.

But our “work” is never done. More healing, more insight, and more growth is waiting for you. That’s why we created “The Experience” —an opportunity designed exclusively for you, an Onsite workshop alum, to return to campus and discover your next layer of healing.

144 "How can we build bridges in our relationships?" with Latasha Morrison

Over the last few years, many of us have experienced immense chasms in our relationships. Politically, socially, racially, and relationally, our world feels incredibly divided. Sometimes, it can feel impossible to bridge the distance between us and the people who don't look or think like us.

To help us explore this topic, we welcome Latasha Morrison, a distinguished author and nonprofit founder widely known for her transformative work in fostering racial reconciliation and unity. Latasha joined Lindsey and Mickenzie for an honest conversation about the power of building bridges in our relationships, doing our own work, and confronting systems that oppress and marginalize BIPOC communities. Through her writing and advocacy, Latasha is a beacon of hope, igniting conversations, challenging social norms, and empowering others to take action toward a more inclusive and equitable world.

Latasha founded the nonprofit Be the Bridge in 2016 to encourage racial reconciliation among all ethnicities, promote racial unity in America, and equip others to do the same. Her new book, Brown Faces, White Spaces: Confronting Systemic Racism to Bring Healing and Restoration, traces the origins of systemic racism in America and illuminates why it persists today. In the book, she equips and calls readers to break the systems that have for so long marginalized the BIPOC communities.

4:24 - How faith organizations can create inclusive spaces for marginalized communities

9:30 - Latasha's story of founding Be the Bridge
