Thanks for sharing @renee.boyntonjarrett! This sounds like a great opportunity to be part of an amazing group of community leaders working to build a just, equitable and community POWERED food system -- centering the community leadership is so critical to make this a reality. I'll definitely spread the word and encourage others to -- it looks like the deadline is coming up this Friday October 29!

Thanks @Tiffany Rodriguez, this sounds like a fantastic session! I saw this recent article featuring the work of Boston Ujima and their Ujima Fund -- really interesting and exciting, I appreciate their focus on building a whole ecosystem of supports and investing in communities of color here in Boston. Looking forward to learning more on this webinar. https://www.boston.com/news/business/2021/02/17/boston-ujima-project-fostering-change-in-boston

This sounds like a great session -- thanks for sharing @Rachel Gray! I really enjoyed reading the blog post, Transforming Early Childhood Mental Health Stigma in the Lowcountry Region of South Carolina, by @Adrienne Troy-Frazier and featuring the BEE Collective that @richie.simone.lee is also a part of and looking forward to hearing what they share around this important topic of justice for children and families.

These are fantastic resources! Another resource I appreciated in the June 2020 Forum Newsletter was the the "Anti-Racism and Resilience" Resources list put together by Vital Village team and partners: https://bit.ly/RaceResilienceResources -- from this list, I was able to check out the Talking about Race website by the National Museum for African American History. Lots of helpful resources, and I appreciate the museum's staff sharing their journey in moving towards a "brave space" -- I agree this is an important distinction from the term "safe space" that we often hear. "Brave" spaces, for me, better acknowledges the different levels and ways we are each impacted and shapes our experienced when having conversations about structural racism, equity, and our roles around what is needed moving forward.
