A conversation among the Spacemakers discussing the importance of taking racial diversity further into true inclusion and what that looks like. Is there a difference between diversity and inclusion? 

Discussion questions:

    ⁃    Does my immediate circle look and think just like me? 

    ⁃    Who do the people I respect and follow look like? 

    ⁃    Does my church or community reflect the demographics of my area in race, economic status, or age? Why or why not?

    ⁃    Is there a demographic that I actively avoid? Why?

    ⁃    Do different types of people feel comfortable talking to me? Why or why not?
