I've been meaning to ask...Where Do We Go From Here?
January 16 marks the beginning of a meaningful conversation series designed to bring our community together to connect and engage on topics that matter to us all. This first session builds on the themes and discussions from our October event, which focused on The Anxious Generation.
The event will be interactive, diving deeper into how the digital world shapes our lives and communities. If you’d like to join us for future events, click the contact button at the bottom of this newsletter to inquire, or stay tuned for updates through future newsletters. We’d love to have you be part of the conversation!
International Holocaust Remembrance Day holds deep significance as a day of reflection, remembrance, and commitment to preventing atrocities of the past from recurring. As we honor the memory of the millions who endured during the Holocaust, let us approach this day with cultural sensitivity and empathy. It is an opportunity to engage in thoughtful discussions, educate ourselves about the historical context, and emphasize the importance of tolerance and understanding. By fostering a culture of remembrance and learning, we contribute to building a world where diversity is celebrated, and the lessons from history guide us toward a future of peace and unity.
About the Book...
In Our Differences Make Us Stronger, La June and her best friend, Jenefer, love school in Detroit, sitting together every day despite looking different from the other kids. But when Jenefer moves away, La June feels out of place. A new classmate, Eva, moves in, and everything about her seems unfamiliar.
When their teacher reshuffles the lunch seating, the class learns to explore the challenges and rewards of connecting across differences. Through open conversations, La June and her classmates discover that while it's natural to gravitate toward those like us, true community grows when we embrace and learn from our differences.
This story reflects the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's racial healing practices, inspiring young readers to share, listen, and build stronger, more inclusive communities.
