Dr. Belle Barthelmess talks about her commitment to anti-racism. Her journey started in a small, rural town in Maine. After college in Boston and a degree in urban youth work, she became a Residential Addictions Counselor for gang-affiliated adolescent males. Later, after serving a mega-church running a large youth program, she became Dean of Students at the International Training Institute in South Africa. Belle just completed her doctoral work, and along with Ken, is a trained facilitator for the Center for Racial Reconciliation in Monrovia. We follow her journey and gain insight from her considerable insight. Ken also reflects on the anti-racism work of Ibram X. Kendi and Tom Skinner. See SHOW NOTES here.
