My work is to empower people to engage in difficult conversations in order to achieve common understanding, while also acknowledging the power differentials that exist in our society. The invitation is to connect with information where you learn different ways of being and grow as a result. Connect, Learn, Grow.
Aisha is a self proclaimed LOUD TALKER, both literally and figuratively, as an accomplished religious educator, facilitator, author and advocate of equity and justice.
