Race for Reconciliation and its R4R podcast is designed to provide conversations that educate and elevate. When it comes to inequality, the negative voice unfortunately is often the loudest voice. We sadly live in a world where inequality and disadvantage not only still exist, but also are overlooked and neglected by many. However, our position is that of a positive voice. A voice that patiently listens, seeks to understand, and represents kindness. A voice that compliments instead of criticizes. A voice that is proactive instead of passive.Imagine the possibilities when our differences represent our strengths, not our weaknesses. What’s possible when we are unified and truly liberated? What hangs in the balance of our decision to prove love works?Our position is to leverage all platforms and partners to educate and elevate all people.
