Being, Belonging, & Becoming (B3)

B3 represents our core values, enacted through coffee and community. We value what it means to be, to belong, and to become…
  • BEING: we appreciate diverse ways of being & embrace the natural variation of what it means to be human. We recognize the inherent dignity and worth in being, and we honor individual differences.
  • BELONGING: we strive to create spaces where everyone belongs. Belonging, to us, means people of all abilities are fully engaged in communities of choice, and moreover, recognized as valued members.
  • BECOMING: we believe in becoming better together, through inviting diversity to enrich our lives, workplaces, and communities. One cup at a time, we strive to influence change toward a more inclusive and equitable world.

In yesterday’s Navigating Our CommUNITY program, B3 members learned about participating in the community through either volunteering or paid employment. We learned about resources for accessing these opportunities, including @wewillwalkwithyou and @worktogethernc 👌 #accessibility ID: video clips of presenters and B3 members working in small groups to explore resources.
