ERB Editor C. Christopher Smith had the chance to sit down at CCDA with two first-time podcast guests Donna Barber and Michelle Ferrigno Warren for a conversation themed about their new books, as well as the work they both do to mobilize people for justice and social change and what sustains them on the journey.
Donna Barber is cofounder of The Voices Project, an organization that influences culture through training and promoting leaders of color. She is also the author of the recent book: Bread for the Resistance: 40 Devotions for Justice People (published by IVP Books).
Michelle Ferrigno Warren is the president and CEO of Virago Strategies, a consulting group that provides strategic direction and project management for civic engagement campaigns alongside communities impacted by racial and economic injustice. She helped found Open Door Ministries, a community development 501(c)(3) corporation in downtown Denver, to address poverty, addiction, and homelessness through social programs. Her most recent book is Join the Resistance: Step into the Good Work of Kingdom Justice (IVP Books, 2022).
Special thanks to IVP for granting the space to record this conversation at the conference!
