To the Black, Indigenous, and people of color in our straw bale community,

We received a very powerful message from an African American woman educator in which she shared how important it is for us to clearly state that Black, Indigenous, and people of color are “welcomed and wanted” at our workshops.

It became clear that we have not done enough to create that safe, welcoming space or to share that message broadly. We understand that we will never know what it is like to be a Black, Indigenous, or person of color in this country. What we DO know is that you are welcome in the straw bale community and at our workshops.
