TESTIMONY: The Value of Accountability Circles – Sara Burlingame [video]

Throughout 2022, Collabyrinth partnered with Auburn Theological Seminary to offer a series of accountability circles to, first, state-level justice leaders, then Black men leaders from all walks of life, and finally clergy at historically white settler churches, who are leading their congregations in reparations work. All three circles used the Truth & Transformation Model to frame their bi-weekly digital gatherings for a duration of 6 months. Auburn has been a tremendous partner in field testing the UnLearn InEquity methodology.

Invisible Mindy Kaling | Nationwide Insurance Commercial
