Austin Channing Brown

Austin Channing Brown's journey as a racial reconciler began in college with an experience called Sankofa-- a three-day bus trip exploring Civil Rights sites throughout the South. She was never the same. Now she has the pleasure of collaborating with various Christian ministries who are moving forward a vision of racial reconciliation and socioeconomic understanding. Her day job is working as a Resident Director and Multicultural Liaison for Calvin College. Whether speaking, training, facilitating dialogue or planning strategies, she loves the messy work of reconciliation.
