Holding Messy Space - 4/172023

Conversation Overview

Join us for a different take on Messy Conversations and Hold Messy Space. Tony Lopez has created a video presentation that centers interviews with fellow BIPOC Antioch students. Their hope is to share insight into the unique experiences of BIPOC within higher education while also holding the space to process the complicated feelings that may arise from the difficult conversations. Consider joining us to dive deeper into the subject of building community within higher learning and to critically examine what your own role is within the process.

Tony Lopez is a recent graduate of Antioch’s Health Counseling & Psychology program. They are currently working on their goals to become a counselor, hoping to highlight the unique experiences and marginalization of BIPOC. Tony hopes to draw from their experience having grown up as a child of immigrant parents, a veteran of the Army, and being a new resident of the Seattle area.

Sara Beth Lohre is an alum of Antioch's PsyD program, the Psychology Coordinator for Seattle Undergraduate Studies & Health Counseling Psychology, and one of the original Messy Conversations coordinators who believes that student voice across our campuses helps us to stay focused on our call to antiracist work.
