Would you like to hold an open, calm, and honest conversation with someone from another race?
Are you open to use "Active Listening" to hear another person's lived experiences?
Do you believe sharing your perspective and hearing another's could bridge what may divide us?
People from 24-98 answered our call. They spoke in response to prompts and the others listened carefully enough to repeat verbatim what they heard. Then roles reversed. When they were heard correctly, the conversation continued if needed.
THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE: THE HUMAN RACE.
Trust built over 50 hours. Some shared so openly that they cannot share it with the public. We are sharing what is allowed so that you might feel this experience and try it yourself. In every case, it was cathartic, bonding, and worth doing.
MENTAL HEALTH IS A HUMAN ISSUE, NOT A RACE ISSUE.
