About this listen

Bonnie Chavez, CEO of Building Beloved Communities in Roanoke, VA, grew up in a small town in Southern New Mexico where economic opportunity was scarce.



Her family often relied on food boxes, and just as often, served on the other side of the line—sorting, packing and distributing food. Those early lessons in service and connection shaped her life’s work and leadership. In this episode, Bonnie shares how deep listening, compassion and a simple cup of coffee can create space for partnership and belonging.



She unpacks the inspiration behind her company’s name, drawn from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of a world without poverty, bigotry or racism, and challenges us to ask: How do we translate vision into everyday actions that move us closer to a truly beloved community?
