Working Towards Equity in 2020: A Millennial’s Perspective on Tackling Justice Issues in the Year of Chaos

Evan Stanfill | November 05, 2020

Equity Intern and former XPLOR Resident Evan Stanfill shares the importance of leaning into conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion.

One of the ministries I am working with as an NBA XPLOR Resident is the food security ministry at Memorial Boulevard Christian Church. Having seen the impact this service is providing to one of St. Louis’ poorest neighborhoods, I believe that food security is one of the most important ministries we can be part of.
