Our program featured Michelle Strong from EYES (Embrace Your Elephant Spiritually) Journey, a nonprofit program that invites the faith community to embrace the elephant in the room, racism, with conversation, vulnerability, and truth through God’s word. Michelle’s message of giving grace and open communications can help us grow in ourselves and in our authentic relationships with others. Michelle’s message was truly for the heart.
