In this episode, Denisha Porter and Joan Ferrante come to the table to examine the current climate of race relations amid the 6th Annual National Day of Racial Healing. Launched in 2017, the National Day of Racial Healing is an initiative to bring ALL people together and inspire collective action to build common ground for a more just and equitable world.

Denisha Porter is the first Executive Director All-In Cincinnati, a community-led equity coalition focused on systemic change. All-In Cincinnati aims to deepen, amplify, and multiply local and regional efforts to build equitable, thriving neighborhoods.

Joan Ferrante is an educator, author, consultant, speaker, and filmmaker known for collaborative, accessible work on race and identity. She is the founding director of the Mourning the Creation of Racial Categories Project, which has involved over a 100 artist to tell the story of how the United States created racial categories and the lasting effects this deliberate dividing has had on lives, relationships, and identities.
