Excited about this podcast!!!
Such an exceptional addition to the conversation around race! Though these conversations are never ending and so seemingly insurmountable, I am happy to know that there is a space with people who choose to tackle these important issues with such rigor and care; with people who ask all the questions that we all need to ponder when we have our own conversations - whether it be with our friends, our communities, our politicians. Thank you Vinita for the much-needed conversation. I am excited to hear more.
