Burning Questions

"What can I do to ensure that there are more dynamic, more complex stories that center the experiences of Black women like me?"

"How is it that collective memory can be used as a way to produce and expand the notion of future? How can we build multiple ideas about the future through listening to the stories of folks who are organizing for better tomorrows?"

"What value am I adding to a particular space? How can I help advance that notion of just peace there? How can I understand when to step back and to not take up space?"

"How can we recognize fire as part of ourselves, as part of our landscapes, as part of our world? How can religion help us explore that question?"

"How do we craft a classroom such that it is a place of dynamic intellectual vitality, where students and teachers experience intellectual awakenings, transformation, and development individually and collectively?"

"How can the prophetic tools, practices, and forms of inquiry that we cultivate in religious communities be employed inside government structures?"

"What can we learn about our society when we listen to people on the margins?"

"How can those of us who have privilege use that privilege for the benefit of those on the bottom, the marginalized, the dispossessed?"

"How do you convert a witness into withness? When you witness an injustice, how are you part of the storytelling?"

"How can we bring change to the humanitarian sector that puts local leaders in the driver's seat, designing, implementing, and carrying out humanitarian response?"
