Hope Story Circle with RJ Jennings - May 27, 2023

RJ Jennings shared a story of his personal journey, as a black male growing up in the South side of Chicago and then moving to live with other family in a different state, and how his life changed. It’s a story about early perceptions planting strong and negative ideas, and how kind mentorship shifted his thinking. Finding people who set better examples, and demonstrated possible paths forward that might redirect his thinking, changed his life completely. His is a heartfelt and tender story, that inspired people in the break-out rooms deeply. We invite you to listen, and hold the importance of mentorship, setting examples, and showing love to the young people in your life.

Hope Story Circle with Steffani Salter - May 13, 2023

Steffani Salter shared a story about an experiment with trust. In the past, she has experienced the pain and frustration that resulted from broken trust, promises made and broken, and the up and down pattern of creating trust and then having it broken. Who can you trust? She began an experiment to only trust herself. The story and the reactions from the breakout rooms were compelling and inspiring. Who are you able to trust, and how deeply are you able to trust yourself?  Check the calendar of events at www.peacealliance.org/calendar, join us at our next Hope Story Circle and share your emerging stories!

Hope Story Circle with Sequan Prude - April 22, 2023

Sequan Prude’s life gave him many challenges. His beginnings were a little rough, from a broken home and parents that both had their own demons, he went to 8 elementary schools, 6 junior high schools and 7 high schools. This rough start led him to make some choices that resulted in his incarceration for more than fourteen years. During that time, he had a few awakenings, and gained a college education, the achievement of which was successful in a personal goal to make his grandmother proud, as valedictorian at the top of his class. On a path of forgiveness, the last part was to learn to forgive himself as part of healing, realizing that although he had made some really bad choices in his life and had done things that he needed to pay for, that he could give himself some sort of grace that it took a lot to make the changes that he has made. The inquiry was about balancing accountability individually, with the collective responsibility to we owe as society — and how to balance those things.

4/19/23 DoP Campaign Monthly Third Wednesday Call – Communicating with Congress: Why We Work for Peacebuilding

Hope Story Circle with General McArthur Hambrick - April 8, 2023

General grew up with music and then moved into dance. He has danced in many dance companies, danced and sang on the Broadway stage in CATS, toured with Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon and other shows. He has always leaned in on the arts, and took opportunities that were presented to express himself artistically. At one point, the opportunity came to teach dance, and that has continued. He now is an associate professor of dance at West Virginia University. The break-out rooms explored the question of how to find joy in the arts, as a healer, a teacher or a creator. General has lived his life to express the joy he feels in expressing himself artistically, and we all have joy in what we came here to do.

Hope Story Circle with Jan Fox-Petersen - March 25, 2023

Jan Fox-Petersen experienced grief early in her life, when she lost a beloved grandmother at age six. The grief, along with other events that transpired, made her lose her voice, and her will to be heard. It took years and much work to get past these barriers, and she is now a relationship coach and restorative practices advocate in Wichita, inspiring people with principles of restorative practices, Non-violent communication, compassion and empathy. The shares following the break-outs were as personal and inspiring as Jan’s remarkable story.
