In episode thirteen of Becoming The Vision, we welcome June Wilson, executive director of the Compton Foundation! In this episode, we reflect on “faith”-- as a belief in something yet unseen, a force that can feel unsteady or slow, and one that needs communion with others to build, strengthen, and sustain. We explored faith in the context of work on “relational repair”—an approach that expands the conversation around reparations beyond financial exchange to include addressing our relationships: with one another, and with money itself. It’s about building a shared vision across racial lines, where healing can happen on all sides and reparations becomes a path toward mutual thriving.

In the conversation, June reflects on the limits of money as a tool for justice and lifts up the need for healing on all sides. We also speak candidly about the messiness of coalition work—offering that when we begin to see our liberation as interconnected, and choose to step out on faith, new possibilities emerge to bridge divides.
