This episode was recorded in front of a live audience on July 19th, 2022, at the Child Abuse Prevention Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. My guest is the keynote speaker, Corey B. Best. Corey is the founder of Mining for Gold, a project that curates community members’ experiences with systems of oppression and utilizes that information to rebuild child- and family-serving systems. Corey is thoughtful, challenging, and generous, and I am so pleased to have him on this podcast. More information about Corey, Corey’s work, and Prevent Child Abuse Arizona can be found below.
