PODCAST: “40 LESSONS” ANY LESSONS FROM THEM BREAKING OUR BLACK BODIES?

Power coupled with racism against people of color have life-threatening and life alternating consequences. What do we learn about ourselves and our community when confronted with the inequality and injustice is revealed? The hope shared in this episode of 40 Lessons is that we will be honest enough to recognize our racist thoughts we have accepted as truth and decide to learn something new. And that our community will not be silent as we hold people in power accountable.

The event spotlight for this episode is the RVA East End Festival. It is an inclusive community celebration highlighting the diverse neighborhoods and unique quality of Richmond’s East End. The festival serves as a fundraiser for music education in East End public schools.
