15 November 2023 (Fairfax, VA): Yesterday, the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia hosted author and speaker Mónica Guzmán to discuss her book I Never Thought of it That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times.

The Elevate NOVA Book Circle was launched in 2023, inspired by a similar book circle held by the Delaware Community Foundation. More than 400 community members joined us to read the book and discuss Mónica’s thoughtful process for how to engage in deeper listening and curiosity to bridge gaps in understanding, helping to promote community resilience.

In its work to build Social Trust and Civil Healing, the Community Foundation has joined a large and growing grassroots movement to rebuild social trust across the United States, each individual having a role to play in the civic healing of our country.
