Becoming Agents of Shalom: Tamara Gurley :: On Pause [Eps 8]
Tamara Gurley is a racial educator, consultant, seminarian, and creative artist in spoken and written word. She has served in business + ministry leadership for over 14 years as she blends her love for people, education, and creative arts into serving and growing faith-based and corporate communities. She is an advocate for freedom and justice. Tamara lives in Michigan with her family.
In this episode we talk about: anti-racism work, taking care of ourselves and boosting mental health as a family, laying down our lives for one another and counteracting negative narratives, linking love for neighbor with how God wired us to give, permission to feel, process, and lament, and how to practice justice beyond social media reposts. Tamara shares an original poem called: "Not Yet."
