A Gift

It’s obvious our group truly appreciated your time with us earlier this month. Your intellect and heart is such a gift as we seek wisdom and truth.

Nancy Servoss, Facilitator, JustFaith Spirituality & Racial Equity,

Wonderful Speaker

What a wonderful guest speaker Leslye Colvin is. The way she interspersed US civil rights history with her history was very effective. My takeaway is about the shape shifting of racism. Thank you.

In Solidarity

Leslye, we are so grateful for YOU! I especially appreciated the reminder that with each 'protest' or public recognition of unrest, we are actually continuing the 'cry' from past generations that have lived with pain and injustice. It's their truth that continues today and although progress has been made, we are still faced, in 2021, with inequities and ignorance that baffles my mind. THANK-YOU for your time and poignant thoughts.

Thank you!

Please pass along my deep gratitude to Leslye. Her retelling of these big often painful moments of history juxtaposed with her grade in school was really powerful. Also the entire idea of a contemplative activist has really struck me. Leslye embodied that practice so well. The things she said are still spinning about in my head. Many thanks go to Leslye for sharing so deeply with us.

Gratitude

Leslye, thank you so very much for sharing your time with us last night. I’ve been reading your blog and I’m being drawn in . . . by the beauty of your writing, your vulnerability, and your ability to hold ambiguity in patient tension with discernment. And also for your willingness to speak to black, brown and white people, all of us. We need to hear what you have to say, it is prophetic. I will be sharing your blog with others. Blessings on you, your work, and your mother. -In Peace, Pat V.
