 Invitation to Brave Space
  
 By Micky ScottBey Jones
     
 Together we will create brave space
 Because there is no such thing as a “safe space”
 We exist in the real world
 We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds.
 In this space
 We seek to turn down the volume of the outside world,
 We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere,
 We call each other to more truth and love
 We have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow.
 We have the responsibility to examine what we think we know.
 We will not be perfect.
 This space will not be perfect.
 It will not always be what we wish it to be
 But
 It will be our brave space together,
 and
 We will work on it side by side
