Real-Life She-roes: Leslie, Kristen, and Tammy

My home city of Nashville is very racially and ethnically diverse, facts which can make it difficult to hear and know one another as neighbors.  In the midst of recent events across our nation that highlight the deep racial divides that still exist, we must ask:  how do we move forward, together?  How do we do a better job of hearing, seeing, and knowing one another across the lines that separate us, so that together we might build a more just society?

Three strong women in our community have taken leadership in trying to answer some of these difficult questions.  Recognizing that no one person or group has all the answers, they have begun by hosting a series of conversations for the woman of Nashville.  Their hope is to create safe, truthful spaces in which to build relationships within our community.

I so admire these ladies and their passion towards change.  They are she-roes!  Here is a photo of them from the Facebook group they started, Nashville Continues the Conversation on Race.
