My conversation with Teresa Velardi and 🔆 Dennis Pitocco prompted me to connect some dots. One of the stated objectives of our publishing project — Unsheltered: Voices From the Street — is to “change the narrative” around the homeless. I’m a participant in and a contributor to the project. But I admit, in all candor, I don’t know what that narrative is. I, for one, can’t change something I can’t define. Nevertheless, profound change can and will be made if we change our perspectives of “other”. When you listen to this conversation, take note of how many times the three of us say “them”. It’s not us, the people with adequate financial means and roofs over our heads. It’s them. You know, the people without adequate financial means and roofs over they’re heads. We are us, and they are other. No. They are not. https://lnkd.in/eRnD3i-k Senses of, ignorance of, fear of, defensive hostility toward “other” is the source of myriad isms — racism, antisemitism, liberalism, conservatism — pick a winner. Old habits die hard. We have to recognize our adherence to those habits before we can break them. And when it comes to people, homeless or otherwise, until we acknowledge we are them, we should lower our expectations. I have no intentions of lowering my expectations. https://lnkd.in/eCBxJ_3n
"The idea that people who are homeless choose to live on the street perpetuates the false narrative that, unlike other people, they do not need or want stability." ... LISTEN to this special discussion, as it's time for us all to do more "good" for the unsheltered worldwide.

Do you wish to reachout to a community this season but don't know where to start? I gat you..... The beautiful pictures from outreaches you see and admire, a lot of work went into it. You don't just wake up, carry canopy to a community and say you are doing community outreach, I promise you that if you do that ,It would end in premium tears🤣🤣 There are different stages of community entering: But these are few steps; 💥 Planning: 👉 Get ready 👉 Select a community 👉 Identify leaders who will support 👉 Prepare your materials for key audiences. 💥 Entering the community ✅ Meet with the community leaders ✅ Be ready to answer questions ✅ Choose a date. ✅Leave meeting with a clear list of next steps and commitments. 💥 Outreach Day 📌 Speak their language: Get an interpreter if need be. You have to communicate effectively.. 📌 Respect people's time: Never keep them waiting no Matter what you are giving them. 📌 Understand your role: No go dey do pass yourself 😁to avoid premium tears... Dear #linkedinfamily Have you organized an outreach program before? What are the steps you took? Please add to the list........ 📸: Picture inspiration by Blessing Agbo Ntamu PhD, D.

When engaging in community, it can be easy to get distracted by the loudest voices, resulting in the loss of important views. Our second Community Outreach Principle: Value Every Voice: Take time with each conversation to ensure everyone's input and needs are heard. What strategies do you use to ensure that even the quietest voices are heard? #CommunityOutreach #TheVidaAgency #SeattleAgency #MulticulturalMarketing #CommunityConversations

I've been thinking a lot recently about how we communicate with one another as humans. The aftermath of the riots, including in my own village of Wath upon Dearne/Manvers ('Rotherham') has laid bare the difficulties we have in our society in communicating across difference. Yesterday, a few of us came together in a #ThinkingEnvironment space, to share our thoughts and feelings. It was a healing experience and we hope to hold more. We realised that: 💛 we collectively lacked information about migration/asylum/trafficking - around funding and systems. Finding info at the minute is a minefield, but we've invited someone to come and give us a briefing 🙏 💛 we need skills to initiate difficult conversations and to challenge racism (and other prejudice talk). I'm offering a session on non-violent communication which is the most effective approach I've ever found. 💛 the importance of food in bringing people together to find common ground. 💛 we all need to do our own work, to live our own anti-racist lives (out of work as well as in work). That's going to be different for each of us and I'm thinking deeply about what more I can do, that will be meaningful. We held the event at our local community pub Wath Tap (thank you!) and we have other spaces we are going to approach, so that we can meet at other times. What feels important is not to count numbers and keep the group informal with an open invitation. There are other funded and formalised projects that we will/are in touch with and we're only a part of a community response. After the event, the pub opened and it was great to see Fraser Mycroft back behind the bar!
