Creating a Safe Space
We stand in solidarity with the Black Community & the Black Lives Matter Movement, the Indigenous Community, and the Asian American & Pacific Islander Community. We are committed to creating a work and community environment that fosters diversity, establishes a cultural and environmental feeling of belonging, and creates a safe space for Black, Indigenous, & non-Black People of Color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people of all ages and disabilities.
“Our bodies are really the arbiters of safety, and when we’re not safe in the world, being honored in our humanity, or if our basic human needs aren’t being met, then we start to break down—spiritually, emotionally, physically. The only pathway to move forward and stay strong is to be gentle with yourself and become acquainted with your vulnerabilities. For us to be able to do this work constantly and show up, we have to take care of ourselves, and how we do that is so hinged on us being able to have access and tools for self-care.”
