Former Senator | Tallahassee, FL

Brave Spaces

Idea Category: Education, Equity & Opportunity

Problem

Our communities have become increasingly divided making it difficult to find a way to engage in civil discourse, particularly as it relates to diversity, equity and inclusion. Too often, citizens have retreated to the safety of people and platforms they agree with rather than taking on tough conversations. 

Solution

The South City Foundation seeks to repair the cumulative harm of racist public policies and private actions that have trapped generations in segregated neighborhoods of concentrated poverty. Brave Spaces provides a safe space to start the important dialogue that is necessary to do this work through implicit biases, assess personal strengths and weaknesses in the realm of social justice, and foster a level of understanding that can be used in every facet of life.
