“We Knead To Talk”

"The work of anti-racism is becoming a better human to other humans" - Austin Channing Brown

Our team at MGB has been talking.

We've been thinking, growing, and learning. We will continue to keep pushing ourselves, keep listening, & keep discussing.

We are starting a podcast group -'We Knead To Talk'

This will have nothing to do with baking.. or dough.. or kneading dough, but since we are all bakers, getting together to discuss racial justice on a bi-weekly basis, the name seemed fitting.

Together, we will listen. We will pause & discuss. Change starts with us.

We've got a long list of podcasts we will cover. As I was putting together our 'We Knead to Talk' outline in google drive, our friends over at@SirenShrubCosent out an email highlighting Brené Brown's podcast "Unlocking Us" with Ibram X. Kendi "How to Be an Antiracist." SO - that's first on the list! Join us!

We will be starting next week, publicly sharing our progress, which podcasts we will be listening to, and sharing parts of our conversations with you all via our newsletters & website. We would love for YOU to follow along.

I got home yesterday afternoon, turned on another podcast by Brené Brown - with Austin Channing Brown, author of "I'm Still Here : Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness". I turned my phone all the way up, put it in my back pocket, and listened while cleaning my house. I found myself pausing on what I was doing, or pacing, or just sitting down to reallllly listen & hear the words they were saying - That's how powerful it was.

--We are excited to continue sharing.

Best,

Sarah Jo
