Food for Thought. . .

This past week, the Racial Equity Institute held a training for a number of professionals in the area. The work was intense and, given this moment in history, critically important. The driving metaphor that the trainers used was that of fish and lakes (and to a small degree the underground aquifers that feed into the lakes). When it comes to race, we often deal with the fish. Programs are designed to help the fish or provide the fish with resources, which, ultimately, help the fish achieve success. Yet, even with the well-intentioned focus of such programs, if the environment of the lake is not addressed as well, there will be very limited change for the fish. Indeed, life will continue to remain untenable for most if the water system is not fixed as well. To read more, click here. . .
