Scenario

When inclusive communities struggle with boundaries and membership

Our book club started as a safe space for women of color but as we've grown, white women have asked to join and we're divided about whether inclusion means expanding or whether some spaces need to stay closed. The conversation has been happening in side chats and it's creating tension we haven't addressed directly.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The success of your safe space is forcing you to define what safety means and who gets to determine it.
