Great conversation with Justin Minott and our CEO Lori Gay exploring the necessary intersectionality of community and community builders. "You can trust us, and we show up." -Lori Gay #NHS40
How are we supposed to support our community without actually being connected to our community?! Make it make sense. Far too little "justice work" is community-driven. Because of that, the solutions end up being prescriptive instead of informed and effective. We've got to have the people most proximate to the issues driving the solutions. I love how Lori Gay and the Neighborhood Housing Services of Los Angeles County are getting out there and having the real conversations. What other ways are y'all centering the people you serve??
