Our Story

Uncomfortable Conversations was born out of a project for Dr. Shamell Bell's #BlackLivesMatter course in the Fall of 2020. Uncomfortable Conversations was created by Lily Sexton, Anyoko Sewavi, and Sara Lockwood to share our processes as we accompany others in the process of individual and collective unlearning. We hope to normalize initiating uncomfortable conversations with friends, family, and members of our community, and to disrupt the idea that we must be experts in order to have these difficult conversations and that one conversation alone can or should entirely change a person's beliefs.
