Over the last few years, many of us have experienced immense chasms in our relationships. Politically, socially, racially, and relationally, our world feels incredibly divided. Sometimes, it can feel impossible to bridge the distance between us and the people who don't look or think like us. To help us explore this topic, we welcome Latasha Morrison, a distinguished author and nonprofit founder widely known for her transformative work in fostering racial reconciliation and unity.

Latasha founded the nonprofit Be the Bridge in 2016 to encourage racial reconciliation among all ethnicities, promote racial unity in America, and equip others to do the same. Her new book, Brown Faces, White Spaces: Confronting Systemic Racism to Bring Healing and Restoration, traces the origins of systemic racism in America and illuminates why it persists today.
