A Conversation with Stayci Bell (Part 1)

Disruptive Narratives highlight people impacted by history and systemic processes of neglect and disinvestment but may not have a seat at the table and may not feel seen. This is space for people radically re-imagining a path forward but not necessarily a space for those who are unpersuaded by the need for a better world where Black futures matter. We are focused on sharing perspectives that are often unshared or unheard because they challenge what we think we know. In this program, guests are the experts of their own reality.
