Description

You know those moments when someone drops the classic "let's just agree to disagree," and everyone leaves feeling unheard, unseen, and devalued? It’s time for a more meaningful approach to engaging in difficult dialogue, especially when these conversations become harmful for the communities we work with.

Through his work with 4 Da Hood, Frank has cracked the code on something powerful: when people are given protected space to have real conversations, individual healing becomes collective healing. Personal stories become community stories. And suddenly, doing good for the hood means doing good for each other. 

This session won’t be your typical lecture. Frank’s bringing practical tools for turning difficult conversations into monumental change—and he’s got some surprises up his sleeve. Get ready for some truth-telling and a completely new way of thinking about what’s possible when communities come together with intent and a plan of (collective) action.
