Trust as a Catalyst for Change

Whether we want to communicate across difference or seek to heal divisions, our community won’t change until we can trust each other. Marnita Schroedl will tell us of getting people to sit around a table together, and of her now-nationally recognized model, Intentional Social Interaction (IZI).

Marnita’s Table seeks to close gaps across difference through making IZI the new pattern for society where people of color, the disenfranchised, the poor, the unheard, the fragile, the LGBTQ+, the traditionally unheard and excluded are actively and intentionally included and valued at the policy-making and resource-sharing table.
