Community Meetings

Thank You for Your Support and for Joining the Journey with “In Our Bones”

To all those who have purchased the book, I want to express my deepest gratitude. It’s with great excitement that I invite you to join a special opportunity to connect, reflect, and grow together after diving into the pages of In Our Bones. We are creating a space where your unique journey with the book can be shared and celebrated. This will be a space for open hearts, where each of us can reflect on the sections we explore together and express those reflections in whatever form of art speaks to us. Whether it’s a handdrawn picture, a poem, a photograph, a song, or even a simple written paragraph, all forms of creative expression are welcome. Your voice and your art will help us build a community centered on growth, healing, and shared experience. Together, we will gather over Zoom to share these artistic expressions as a community—honoring each other’s stories, experiences, and interpretations. This process will be an ongoing journey, where every month, we explore new sections of the book and dive deeper into the work of personal transformation and collective healing.

Here’s the schedule of our community reflections:

  • January 2026 – CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THIRTY WAYS TO IMPROVE RACE RELATIONS
  • February 2026 – EPILOGUE: TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

This is not just a book club, but a gathering of hearts, minds, and souls, committed to learning and growing through shared reflection and expression.

I look forward to walking this path with you, seeing how each of us reflects on and responds to the work, and witnessing the creative ways we make sense of this journey together.

This is an invitation to connect—your reflections, your creativity, your voice matter. Let’s grow, learn, and create together.
