Corey Best the Founder of Mining For Gold joins the podcast to discuss race, racism, and changing systems. Corey is a curator of community experiences and utilizes those ideas and expertise to shape new thinking within complex systems. Corey has utilized his platform as a Community Curator to re-build child and family serving systems that are responsive to sharing power among constituents with a laser focus on preventing and dismantling all forms of racism. The idea began with the fact that each one of us have pieces of metaphorical “gold” flowing through our souls. This idea for Mining For Gold is directly influenced by the 402 plus years of racialized arrangement in our communities.
