Episode 5: Salt and Light Coalition Pt. 1

Salt and Light Coalition is a grassroots movement mobilizing individuals and organizations to empower survivors of trafficking to live meaningful and purposeful lives.

This episode of Curate Curiosity with Mayra Sotomayor gives listeners a chance to hear more about the impact of Salt and Light Coalition. Their approach aligns to the perspective of the quotes below to ensure that they are helping without hurting here in Chicago

"We need to be careful not to reduce multidimensional people into one dimensional ideas." 

-Jessica Oladapo; Diversity 2 Inclusion, Inc.

 

“If we reduce human beings to being simply physical—as Western thought is prone to do—our poverty-alleviation efforts will tend to focus on material solutions. But if we remember that humans are spiritual, social, psychological, and physical beings, our poverty-alleviation efforts will be more holistic in their design and execution.”
― Steve Corbett, When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor .
