Description

The author advocates for communication as a means to combat racism and bias. As Richmonders, we need to seek out conversations, even if they are not initially comfortable, so we can learn about each other and act with compassion. This is true, especially if we find ourselves in a position of influence or privilege. One way to connect across cultures is by creating cross-cultural community spaces for joy, healing and sharing experiences.
