A Space to Explore: The darkness and our light.

As Brene Brown shares, embracing vulnerability and owning our stories is risky, yet it comes with the incredible rewards that come with embracing love, belonging, and joy. 

This space is where Codas can bravely embrace and own their narratives to discover the power of identity and inclusion, as well as explore the darkness of intersectionality and inequity to find paths toward love and liberation for all members of our community.

Earlier this year, during my research on perceptions of Codas, many of the participants expressed a desire for more open discussion on what it means to be a Coda. From identity to how Codas may have intersectional experiences, we seek to explore various topics, such as looking at the impact of inequity and overlapping oppressions that Codas may face. Additional topics will explore collaboration, inclusion, solidarity, and restorative justice. Not sure what these terms mean? Keep an eye out for future VLOGs/BLOGs in the future!

This website is to foster a space to explore the four I's (identity, intersectionality, inequality, and inclusion) and embracing wholeness. A fishbowl approach will be utilized, where Codas can share individually or in groups such as a panel discussion to explore these topics. 

​Please note: this is a living project and I am not perfect. The people sharing on this website are not perfect, we are offering awareness and suggestions regarding paths for exploration. This is a space where Codas and others share their personal exploration and express their heritage and culture. 

As we do this in this space, please note that all comments will be screened prior to being published to ensure all comments are respectful, considerate, open-minded, where we seek to embrace wholeness and collaboration.

If you would like to submit a VLOG to share your story of what it means to be a Coda, send an email at [email protected]. Lastly, if you have questions or have a topic you would like to see discussed in this space, please send your questions or topics to that email as well. 

Cheers to bravery, vulnerability, and owning our stories as we seek to explore both the darkness and the infinite power of our light!
