On June 15th, LMM's Advocacy Department held a lunch and learn with LMM staff centered around the history and celebration of the Juneteenth holiday. Conversations focused on slavery, race and injustice can be difficult discussions to have, so we wanted to share some tips on ways to have, and be a part of, difficult conversations like these:
- Create a safe space for people to share openly and without judgement
- Commit to being empathic and showing compassion
- Show up ready with the intent to listen and not respond
