News & Events: Equity Chats

Join Daily Work in Conversation on First Saturdays


We Believe Listening is Essential to Growth and Connection

That’s why Daily Work launched Equity Chats – a monthly Saturday morning Zoom series where we come together to reflect, learn, and build community. Each session is grounded in a common resource such as a book, article, or video. 

Everyone is welcome. We do ask that attendees read, watch, or listen to some or all of the material in advance, as each participant will have dedicated time to share their experience with it.

We intentionally create protected space for reflection and sharing so that everyone can be heard. This structure helps build psychological safety, honors all voices, and invites deeper listening and thoughtful engagement.

First Saturday of Every Month • 9:30–10:30 a.m.

Interested in joining or have questions? 
Email Logan Stabnau at: logan.stabnau@daily-work.org

What to expect:
• Welcome from facilitators
• Round-robin check-in: How are you as a human?
• Share out from each attendee about the materials
• If time remains, open space for additional thoughts and questions

If you're worried about participating due to accessing online materials, let us know – we are working to find ways to ensure everyone can participate. Also note that many of these titles are available at your local library!

Salt in the Snow: A Somali Immigrant Story by Sahra Noor

In this deeply personal memoir, Sahra Noor recounts her journey from a close-knit family in Somalia to rebuilding her life as a refugee in Minneapolis. Through experiences of war, displacement, motherhood, and cultural expectations, Noor explores the complexities of identity, belonging, and the impact of her father's love. Her story offers a powerful perspective on the immigrant experience, the challenges of navigating two cultures, and the resilience required to create a sense of home in a new country.

Learn more or buy the book at Catalyst Press.
