September 30, 2024Tony Bradburn: Adoption, Belonging, and Identity
Tony Bradburn sits down with host Andy Spell to share his Crucible story and the impact it had on his identity. From attending his initial Crucible retreat and then staffing other weekends, Tony found a way to bring together all of his identities - "as a black man, as a believer, as someone who was adopted, that was a powerful experience for me. All of these parts of myself deserve to be integrated and deserve to be seen and if not, they become warring parts of me. I can love my whiteness and my blackness, and my Latinidad...for me, I am all of these cultures and I don't want them warring inside me, it really is about appreciation and love of all these parts of me that help make me whole."
