The Dialogue on Race Louisiana staff retreats are always productive and inspiring. And last week's retreat was no different. We learned so much about each other, asked thoughtful questions (we are trained facilitators after all) and discussed the vision and future of Dialogue on Race Louisiana. Like so many events that the organization hosts, staff members had the chance to share, be uncomfortable alongside one another as we grappled with different issues and ideas, and most importantly, ground ourselves in the ever important and timely work of Dialogue on Race Louisiana: to end racism.
