and we're the hosts of a new podcast centering the voices of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people as we highlight the traditions and customs that have helped shape how we think and talk about community and belonging today, and why it's important to remember and honor them for our future.

Carol Martinez
We talk about community as if it's new, and while we can argue that it goes all the way back to before any of us were born, the truth is that some of us have had to continue to carry forward that instinct of deep care and connection to one another just to survive and maneuver it through a society that feels as though it was built to work against us.
Community Challenges and Conversations
