Maurissa Stone Bass is a social artrepreneur, change strategist, management consultant, facilitator, motivational speaker, executive coach, and community development professional. She sat down with me today to talk about why people of color need safe spaces. And how valuing and protecting areas for people of color (POC) is not just a kind thing that white people can do to help us feel better. She feels supporting these spaces is crucial to the resistance of oppression. She also opened about how she copes with adversity in her own life.
