Sarah Marquez-Berestecky co-facilitates the Anti-Racism &amp; Cultural Competency -- or AARC -- work of Bridge City Community Church in South Chattanooga.
Sarah is a third-generation Mexican-American who was born and raised in Texas and grew up navigating what it was like living as a light-skinned Latina in America. She’s a nationally trained community organizer, and she was inspired her to develop ARCC after relocating to Chattanooga to join<a href="https://www.bridgecitycommunity.com/"> Bridge City Community</a>. Sarah and her husband, Jonathan, live with their kids in the East Lake neighborhood of Chattanooga.
