Brave Space: Micky ScottBey Jones
This episode features Micky ScottBey Jones, also known as the Justice Doula. She is an author, speaker, facilitator and the Director of Healing & Resilience Initiatives with the Southern-based collective Faith Matters Network.
And one of the gifts she has given the movement is a practice called Brave Space, which is exactly what happens between us on this podcast as we dig into the in-between spaces in our relationships and movements.
So often we hear about safe space—the promise of a judgement and harm-free environment. But is that even possible?
Micky is calling us to a different practice—one where we can bravely risk mistakes, call each other to more truth and love, and co-create a space where we each have room to grow as activists while still being accountable to one another.
In our conversation, she talks about how, if we want to work towards the abolition of systems of harm and oppression, we actually need to practice that with one another.
Micky embodies what it is to walk the talk and live into her values; it is an invitation for all of us to hold the complexity of this work and be brave together.
