Rupture and repair w/ Tiffany York

Long standing friendships are treasures and often have many layers. My friendship with Tiffany has ebbed and flowed over the years giving us what we needed to land us in the here and now. She and I speak about rupture and repair in our relationship and how the very actions that have allowed our relationship to survive can be extended to the social justice work and the self work that we do. We also touch on her recent election for a role in town government, how Black theology has shifted her beliefs, and the power of reframing. 

It is undeniable that Tiffany is spirited, thoughtful and principled all the while also being human.
