As our world becomes increasingly digital, it is crucial that we focus on evolving and empowering all communities, including those in slum areas. Access to technology and digital literacy can provide opportunities for growth and advancement, enabling individuals to connect, learn, and thrive in today's digital age. Let's work together to bridge the digital divide and uplift these communities to ensure they are not left behind in this rapidly advancing. By investing in educational programs, creating access to technology, and promoting digital literacy, we can empower individuals in slum communities to successfully navigate and contribute to the digital landscape. Together, we can make a difference and create a more inclusive and connected society for all. Let's strive for progress and development, one community at a time.

“Each of us has a choice to choose chaos or building community,” Dr. Tatum explains. To build a community of acceptance, we must actively choose community over chaos and then find out who’s missing from our community, who needs to be invited to the conversation, and whose voice isn’t being heard. “Who’s missing?” she asked. “If we answer that question, we’ll have a roadmap. So, ask the question: Who’s missing? - Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum author of “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?” Are you making decisions on behalf of your organization or business? Who have you asked for input from to inform your decisions? Whose voice is missing? Have you engaged staff? The clients you serve? What about hard-to-reach people? Engaging diverse voices in decision-making is critical; however, it is difficult to implement in practice. At Building Community, LLC we save you time by conducting outreach, facilitating focus groups, and providing a consultation or report on findings. We have established relationships throughout Coconino County with individuals and organizations willing to support your efforts to include lived experience in your decision-making process.
