Episode 18: Connecting Through Perspectives (with Katherine Beneby II)

On this week's conversation I am joined by communications
specialist Katherine Beneby II. Katherine shares the vision she
had for the concept of a 'Human Library' in the Bahamas. The
original concept of the 'Human Library' originated in Denmark and
creates a space where attendees can 'borrow' people instead of
books. Katherine, with the help of her colleagues, adapted this
experience for the Bahamian context to create "The Bahamian
Exchange.' Each year at 'The Bahamian Exchange' 
participants have the opportunity to sit in groups of no more
than 5 for 15 minutes and ask features anything they want. These
features are people who are from different backgrounds and
experiences. The space welcomes tough questions, varying
viewpoints and opinions for respectful dialogue. Over the last 4
years this event has not only developed minds, but fostered
connections and opportunities. Katherine Beneby is also a
speaker, trainer and coach and owns her own business, KBII
Communications.
