Experts at social capital building, we’ve welcomed over 64,000 people from around the world and the around the way to find common ground while breaking bread – in person or online, we bring people together to create meaningful change and more equitable systems.

Event Details
Team Marnita’s Table invites you to join us for a Taste of dIZI!
Are you interested in learning about how to heal from trauma as a community? Do you want to authentically come together across difference? Are you thinking about how to have honest conversations about U.S. history? Are you, your organization or your community looking to become more equitable? Do you want to have meaningful and effective conversations? Are you interested in strategically creating lasting change? Are you seeking to find or retain talent of color?
We are receiving communications from people all over the world seeking ways to come together across difference. Authentically. Measurably. Productively. In a safe(r) space.
Thursday, September 3 between 12:00-1:30pm CT
RSVP to Lauren@marnitastable.org for the zoom code and include the date you plan to join us.
If you are receiving this invitation, it is because you’ve expressed interest in doing things differently. We can help you. We recommend attending one of our Taste of dIZI overviews before scheduling a one-on-one meeting. This is an opportunity to get your questions answered and get additional insight about whether you want or need a one-on-one conversation with our team.
We’ve redesigned our tools and techniques to create an inclusive digital space, to ensure equitable elevation of marginalized voices and viewpoints. Meet Digital Intentional Social Interaction (dIZI for short). It is built on the five foundations and 21 touchpoints of our original, highly effective, experience engineering model Intentional Social Interaction (“IZI”) – diverse gatherings engineered to spark systemic change through connection and collaboration.
We understand many dominant culture organizations are excited to make change at this time. Be mindful. Be proactive. Be intentional. Be authentic. We are sharing tangible skills that you can start adapting and using right now to become better allies and make equitable, lasting change. More importantly, you will have an opportunity to think about what YOU and your organization want to move forward with intention.
You will receive Intro to Digital Intentional Social Interaction (“dIZI”). Additional topics to be explored include:
-
- Catalyzing genuine and enduring cross-cultural community connections;
- Centering your community engagement experience through ensuring that every person in attendance feels as though “this event was created intentionally with me in mind”;
- Emerge: How patience and active listening builds better bottom up community-based solutions;
- Change! Adopting new practices in order to effectively and authentically connect with community.
- Research & Reflection: Why do you want to bring people together? What difference are you trying to bridge? What do YOU think will happen?
- Effective collaboration across difference; and
- Just Quit! How systems can stop fatiguing the communities they should be serving
