What would you ask if you knew you wouldn't be judged?

Conversations about race can feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes we stay silent because we're afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Sometimes we avoid asking questions because we don't want to offend someone.

And sometimes, we simply don't know where to begin.

Dr. Shelley Jones-Holt believes we don't have to be perfect to have meaningful conversations. We have to be willing to learn, listen, and stay engaged.

Join her for An Evening with Dr. Shelley Jones-Holt, featuring an author talk and discussion of Speaking of Race Where We Live, Learn & Earn.

📅 Tuesday, October 27
⏰ 6:30–8:30 p.m. | Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
📍 Black Box Theatre, Heavy Metal Place, Spruce Grove

Come with your questions.
Come with your curiosity.
Come ready for a conversation without shame, blame, or judgment.

Sometimes the conversations we avoid are the ones that can help us understand each other better.

Two days until Week 6.

This Sunday, Oct 4, we're opening Chapter 5 of Speaking of Race: race where we learn. Think about the mindsets kids carry into school, how public education got here, and what to do when an incident happens. These are conversations we can't afford to have alone.

Here's what you get inside the Book Circle:
✅ The author, live, every Sunday
✅ A village of thought partners from different backgrounds, ages and perspectives
✅ Replays if you miss a week

No blame. No shame. No agenda. You don't need the right words to walk in.

📅 Sun, Oct 4 · 3–4 PM ET · on Zoom

What a day! 💜

The event may be over, but the connections, conversations, and opportunities are just getting started.

We had an amazing day sharing LARK: Loving and Raising Kids, meeting so many wonderful people, and talking about what it really means to build stronger families, stronger leaders, and stronger communities.

If you stopped by our table, connected with us, shared a story, scanned a QR code, or simply said hello, thank you. We hope you walked away with something that encouraged you, challenged you, or reminded you that the work you’re doing matters.

And in true Dr. Shelley fashion:

Leadership doesn’t stop when the event ends. What we do with the connection afterward is where the legacy begins.

Here’s to the conversations we started and the relationships we’re continuing to build. 💜
Your Leadership. Your Legacy. Our Support.
