Thank you for sharing your lives with me as we co-created Choppin’ it Up. I am so proud of you–just for being who you are. You changed me. I loved watching as you took on more leadership in your community as the first youth Dialogue for Peaceful Change mediators and continued to develop your skills through the Emerging Leaders training. I enjoyed working with you as you took on additional responsibility to create positive change and prevent teen dating abuse in Contra Costa County. And now you are leading efforts as part of the Youth Directors Council for the Antioch Police Activities League. You inspire and amaze me. Sheila McNamee - Sheila, I struck gold when you became my advisor. You have a rare gift of knowing when I am ready to understand something and being patient with my process. You have become a friend and a trusted mentor, in addition to being a wise advisor. I don’t know how to thank you for your guidance in this journey. I look forward to continuing to learn from and with you. Devorah Levine - Devorah, I remember the first day we talked about peacemaking. Little did I realize what an impact you would have on my life, my work, and now my research. Thank you for believing in my visions and for supporting me in my work. Most of all, thank you for your belief in the potential of youth to make a positive impact and for supporting the youth of Choppin’ it Up. Kathryn Burroughs - Kathryn, I so appreciate your generous capacity for creating generative listening spaces. These spaces provide opportunities for striking moments to generate constructive conversations. You have a way of hearing me that helps me advance and deepen my understanding. You are a role model for me in how listening plays an important role in constructing our stories and realities. You were always there to celebrate the youth with unwaivering belief in their magnificence. Juliana Carson - Juliana, I am grateful for the expertise you bring to everything you do. You make it all look so easy managing our project work. Thank you for the support and guidance you provide to make things happen with such ease and grace. Linda Chamberlain, Jeffrey Edleson & Michael Ungar - Linda, Jeff, and Michael, thank you for your advising in the beginning of this project. Your wisdom helped shape what Choppin’ it Up became. Iris Archuleta - Iris, you are a force of life that touches everything you are around! Your commitment to the youth of Antioch made this project even possible. I have learned so much from you and I thank you for your leadership and vision. Thank you for putting your trust and faith in me with your kids and bringing me into the Youth Intervention Network partnership. Ver non Williams - Vernon, you are out there, on the ground, with the youth making a difference on a daily basis. You have a gift for really seeing them, seeing their potential and gifts, and supporting them to be all that they can be. It was a treat to be able to work with you on this project. Don Gill - Don, I appreciate your trust in this project, in the youth of Choppin’ it Up, and in me. You and your staff at Antioch Unified School District made this project possible. Your commitment to the youth of Antioch is evident in your willingness to support projects like this and invest your leadership and time to address the issues that impact kids’ lives in your district. Colin Craig and Jaap van der Sar - Colin and Jaap, thank you for bringing Dialogue for Peaceful Change to the youth of Antioch. Your commitment to peace is a model for us all. iii Jordan Sizelove - Jordan, you are a stellar leader in living an example of what you say and believe in. I am so appreciative that you provided a youth leadership role for the project. You made a significant impact on my life and the lives of the youth in Choppin’ it Up. Rob Kershaw - Rob, your partnership in creating and implementing Choppin’ it Up raised up what was possible. You brought your expertise in storytelling and your masterful digital media development to the project. You were completely committed to the Choppin’ it Up youth to help them tell their stories in powerful ways. Hilary Morland - Hilary, thank you for joining me in this journey and providing your expertise in editing. I thank you. My readers thank you. If there are errors in this document, it is certainly not due to your efforts, but rather to mine. You continue to show up in my life as a major support–from providing me warm socks to sleep on the streets of Denver in the winter during my homeless street retreat to editing my writing with a great combination of kindness and knowledge. Sara Truebridge - Sara, I just don’t know what this experience would have been like without your encouragement and support. You patiently waited for me to understand concepts that to you were like breathing the air around you. Your feedback with each reading helped to advance my understanding and to take it up a notch. The glasses of wine and responses to cries for help took me through the rough spots. My friend, you are a jewel. Pascal Kaplan - Pascal, thank you for the lunches when we discussed what was emerging in my research and what the kids were teaching me. Your wisdom and insight are a true gift. Vicky Lugo - Vicky, I am so grateful for having met you at my first workshop with Sheila. I gained a sister as well as a colleague who is making a huge difference in the lives of youth in Colombia. I am so proud of the work that you are doing and I can’t wait to read your dissertation. ¡Abrazos!
