Ep. 259: Book Club Letter from Birmingham Jail

Steve discusses Dr. King's A Letter from Birmingham Jail with Pastor Vinetta Golphin-Wilkerson and Dr. LaShawn Williams. Reverend Vinnetta Golphin-Wilkerson has been serving the West Valley City community since 2011, when she moved from Atlanta to Salt Lake City to lead the congregation of Granger Community Christian Church. During her time as reverend, she began hosting Project Cornucopia, an event aimed to create a one-stop-shop for community members to learn about and access needed resources from food, education, health, and more. Dr. LaShawn Williams is a licensed clinical social worker with a doctorate in Education. She has her own private practice and has previously taught Salt Lake Community College and Utah Valley University. Dr. LaShawn Williams integrates her faith into her practice by drawing on her experiences as a lifelong member of the LDS Church. She emphasizes the importance of connection and core values, which are central to her faith. Dr. Williams uses these principles to guide her work in addressing racial trauma, identity development, and relational dynamics.
