    The Time Is Always Right to Do What Is Right

    Today, we are presenting a special standalone episode recorded live during a panel discussion hosted by Andrea Baldwin, titled “The Time Is Always Right to Do What Is Right.” The panel was presented in collaboration with the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah during events commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This live audience conversation was recorded on January 20 2026.  Joining Andrea on the panel were three powerful voices in the Salt Lake City area. Ashley Finley is a birth keeper, medicine maker, poet, activist, and educator. Bianca Mittendorf is a community-rooted leader, educator, and candidate for House District 7 in Ogden, Utah. Dr. Chelsea Bouldin is an Assistant Professor whose work engages Black women’s imaginative self-making and archival praxis.   In their conversation panelists approach the civil rights movement not as a closed chapter of the past, but as an ongoing struggle, shaped by history and intensified in the present by backlash, misinformation, and renewed efforts to narrow who belongs, who is protected, and whose voice counts, in Utah and across the United States. The group takes on the question, “If the time is always right to do what is right, what does it mean to DO what is right?” As individuals? Collectively? And especially within institutions that claim neutrality?

As a black queer woman and the cousin of Bobby Ray Duckworth, who tragically lost his life at the hands of police during a mental health crisis, Rae's commitment to justice and community empowerment has been shaped by pain, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to the collective well-being of black and brown people in Utah. The two  dive deep into Rae's personal journey to activism, the unique challenges of fighting for racial justice in Salt Lake City, and the ongoing fight for liberation. Rae will also share insights on the intersectionality of race, gender, and mental health within the Black Lives Matter movement, and discuss how communities can contribute meaningfully to the fight for justice.
