About Marnita’s Table
Marnita’s Table seeks to close gaps across difference through making Intentional Social Interaction (“IZI”) / Digital Intentional Social Interaction (“dIZI”) the new pattern for society. Our model ensures those who are traditionally unheard and excluded are actively and intentionally welcomed and valued at the policy-making and resource-sharing table including IBPOC; women and gender expansive people; the disenfranchised; the poor; those who are LGBTQIA2s+; those who live with disabilities or other abilities; and those from communities historically and currently pushed to the margins. Experts at social capital building, we’ve welcomed over 200,000 guests to thousands of different tables across the U.S. and internationally to find common ground while breaking bread – we bring people together to create meaningful change and more equitable systems.
