Great Day Latte is hosting a public forum at their downtown location called “From Conflict to Community.” The goal is to spark deeper conversations and work toward real resolutions in the face of growing tensions.

The idea would be to “build a program” that would focus on:

  • Peer mediation
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Mentorship
  • Creative expression
  • Restorative practices
  • Mobilizing action

The owner of Great Day Latte, Kimberly Knight, joined Shamonee Baker and Bill Riales on the red couch for a conversation about the event happening at 10 S. Conception Street on Thursday, June 12 at 6:30 p.m.
