Soul talks

        Soul Talks are heart-felt conversations on topics we care about with people we respect, value and feel connection with!  They can be conversations where we learn something, express deeply held beliefs or just explore thoughts and exchange perspectives.  When we connect in a meaningful way it always nurtures the soul!  I will be posting such conversations here on a regular basis and encourage you to comment or add your perspective! We all have a voice and when we share honestly we recognize the connections to our humanity! ​​​​​​ ​

Race in America Today

    In this Soul Talk, Dari Ray Arrington and I talk about race relations in America today and if and how they are changing. Dari is a 28-year-old millennial African American man who grew up in urban Chicago. He works as a K-1 teacher, has his own business and aspires to be an NBA player.  This talk was motivated, in part, by my conversation a month or so ago in Finding Calm in the Chaos. I felt a broader perspective was needed and asked Dari if he would be up for having this conversation with me. A few of the feeling I knew Dari had regarding race relations were also motivators for this conversation, as they touched on issues that I felt we had gotten past in our society to a large degree and it seems we have not. Watch and see how your perspective lines up with our conversation and conclusions and let us know what your thoughts on the issues are. Comments are welcome.  This Soul Talk is a little longer, but it's a big and important topic!
