Belonging, Justice, and Our Shared Humanity

We all strive for a world where everyone feels like they belong. Rather than focus on what separates us, Rev. Naomi Tutu will encourage us to focus on our shared humanity. She believes it’s important for everyone to recognize how our actions, or lack thereof, impact those around us. She will talk about how our differences are opportunities, and how the foundation for a just society is where we accept others and recognize the potential for greatness in each of us. This will foster a brighter future where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
