What happens when the systems meant to help actually hurt? Shanelle is a pastor’s wife, attorney, and Executive Director of the Racial Equity Collaborative. In this episode, she shares her passion for addressing racial disparities in the child welfare system—and her commitment to community-driven solutions that bring lasting change.
We talk about racial trauma, what’s often misunderstood about equity work, how faith informs her approach, and what it means to “have equity eyes.”
