Healing Race
Mission:
- Engage Across Differences
Talking about race isn’t always easy. Andre and Todd were college freshman roommates – one black, one white – who spent the first 25 years of knowing each other without ever discussing the topic. So they decided to go deep on the role of race and the state of race relations in the U.S… and to record their conversations so that others could see what a first conversation about race might look like, where no topic is off the table, but where they always listen, respect, and seek to understand – even and especially when we see things differently. And they are now welcoming guests on to experience that same kind of radical openness, honesty, and empathy. Healing Race is about having open, “real,” constructive conversations about race, and we would love for you to join.
