BE PART OF THE SOLUTION: BE THE BRIDGE
"We are all products of our respective stories. The better we understand and accept the complexities and imperfections within our own stories, the better we can recognize outsiders within our stories and begin co-creating new stories of belonging for all." -Parfait Bassalé
WHAT I DO
Help individuals and organizations build relational bridges.
Through artful facilitation, interpersonal neuroscience, and transformative storytelling, Parfait demystifies the constructs of diversity, inequity and othering and helps audiences become active players in fostering belongingness. He has worked with thousands of youth, educators and professionals across the globe.

Empathy
The key to belonging
To foster belonging, three conditions must be met. First, one must understand one's own story of socialization in order to recognize the outsiders within that story. Second, one must intentionally solicit from outsiders the stories that humanize them and reveal their barriers to belonging. Third, one must become an active player in co-creating a new story of collaboration with outsiders.
