Cultivating Change from the Inside Out
Creating a Brave Space for Conversations about Personal Transformation, Racism, and Accountability
1st & 3rd Wednesday 3PM PT / 6PM ET
Enter a brave space to ponder solving The Cairo Question. Engage in dialogue based on the premise that dismantling racism goes beyond laws and legislation or politics or economics. It's an inside job where personal transformation and accountability impact social change in multiple dimensions: individual, interpersonal, systemic, and structural. It's a place to get comfortable with deconstructing your inner thoughts, ideas, and beliefs to examine what flows out into the world through your words, actions, and behaviors, particularly towards others who are different from yourself.
About
Mavis Bauman's desire to build understanding across all kinds of people, cultures, and lines of difference has powered her passion since her early 20’s.
Mavis graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and then did her master’s coursework at The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy in Medford, MA. Her areas of concentration were international business relations, international finance, and private international law. After graduate school, she served as a writer and fundraiser with the United Nations Association in Washington, D.C. After eight years in compliance at J.P. Morgan in New York City, Mavis left corporate life and built a writing and photography business in northern New Jersey.
In addition, Mavis formed and now serves as the president of SEED A Better Life, a non-profit that supplies food, medical care, and tuition for orphans and vulnerable children and young adults in Rwanda, Africa. She was struck with a passion for Rwandan genocide survivors during her first visit there in 2008 and has served as the visionary for SEED since then. Raised with five siblings in Western Nebraska, Mavis considers herself a "professional sister." "I believe I can do what my brothers and sisters did for me during difficult times," she says. "Any small act of kindness or compassion can have a huge impact on someone's life."
