- the consequences of dismantling DEIA initiatives
- the implications of colorblindness and meritocracy
- the role of the church in advocating for justice
- the importance of maintaining hope and engagement amidst societal polarization
- the need for critical thinking and compassion
- practical steps for hope and community involvement
