Ebony Walden, the Founder and Principal of Ebony Walden Consulting and an Adjunct Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, joins the Coffee Break to share her vision for more equitable and inclusive communities. In this forward thinking conversation, we explore the structural forces that shape our neighborhoods and how people of faith can engage in the "sacred work" of urban planning. Ebony discusses the importance of dreaming collectively and how we can move from historical exclusion to a future of shared flourishing. We dive into the practical ways that congregations and local leaders can advocate for just housing, accessible public spaces, and racial reconciliation within the very systems that govern our city blocks.

This preview is just the beginning of the story. If you’d like to watch the full hour-long conversation, we invite you to become a Parish Collective member and join us in supporting the work of neighborhoods everywhere.
