Ask yourself: rather than leading, are you oppressing? Instead of teaching excellence, are you defending a system frozen in time? Are you cultivating courageous leaders or preserving idols? And, what reckoning should happen to fully see the human before you?鈥�

Award-winning journalists and co-hosts Paksima and Yvonne Latty guide listeners through thought-provoking conversations and highlight issues of hate and extremism. While they don鈥檛 provide easy answers, they powerfully detail the barriers to making systemic changes that promote racial justice.
