Join Terence Lester, Vivian Mabuni, Eryn Eddy and Robert Vore as they have a vulnerable conversation on differences, December 17— 7pm est. Diversity is a topic that is trending across so many different platforms, mediums, and outlets. What if we had the courage to engage in honest conversations about diversity to truly understand the perspectives and experiences of those who are different from us? What if we allowed others to reveal their fears, failures, hopes, and dreams in an effort to recognize core similarities and celebrate God-given differences? So Worth Loving invites you to be a part of our FREE conversation about diversity event as a member of our family! Join us on December 17th from 7-8:30PM as we learn from three amazing panelists and make sure you submit questions before and during the event. Let's embrace healthy tension together as we seek to develop deeper intimacy with our community and demonstrate with our actions that everyone is "so worth loving". *See access link below in updates!* About our panelists: About Terence Lester: Terence Lester is a speaker, activist, writer, and thought leader in the realm of systemic poverty.
