Dialogue for Change Part 1: Inspiring Unity With Nicola Watson, Robin Adams & Erica Hargrove

Ep: 69

In the current time of calls for change, protests, riots, and the confusion and anger we are collectively experiencing, the most productive and healing thing we can do right now is begin to talk to each other. And not only to talk, but to listen. Listen to black voices, experiences, pain and needs. It’s the only way we are going to be able to move forward in peace and create positive, lasting change.

On this episode of The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake lends her platform to the conversation around race relations and opens the doors to dialogue that most have never had. She is joined by three women who share their experiences growing up as black women & their thoughts on how the protests & looting are impacting their lives. Nicola Watson, Robin Adams & Erica Hargrove each share their own unique experiences, perspectives & desires to bring about a better future through constructive dialogue and a greater understanding of each other. This is part one of a two-part series titled Dialogue for Change.

Favorite Quote

“I think we have to start holding people accountable for their actions, for what they’re saying in addition to what they’re doing. Because it’s okay to say it all day, but if you don’t change who you are, and you don’t change your actions, then you’re not doing anything. Everyone has to hold everyone accountable, and every culture and every race and every situation. And I think sometimes people are afraid to do that out of fear of what that’s going to do for them… but the reality is, you’re doing what’s right, and it’s time that we hold people accountable to do what’s right.” Erica Hargrove
