The Brave Space Podcast
Brave Space is a healing place for gun violence prevention professionals and survivors. We meet together with people who are willing to share their challenging life experiences on a public platform and describe their process for achieving personal transformation. In doing so, we are helping to reframe the harmful narratives about community violence and those involved.
The purpose of The Brave Space Podcast is for us to heal in community. By sharing our lived experiences, we give voice to those who are most impacted by community violence and in need of healing and restoration.
