Conversation Series 141 – Lydia Smith

I'm excited to introduce you to the next guest on The Contraband Wagon (our hundred-and-forty-first Conversation Series event), Lydia Smith!

I don't only have conversations about race behind a camera. The conversations I have and the show I do are my way of living antiracism as a value. That's who I am whether the camera is rolling or not. So when this local guest and I had a wonderful connection and conversation about race and antiracism, I just knew I had to have her on the show. We'll be doing a live community recording of this conversation, but it will also be available in full for patrons of The Contraband Wagon. Come join us to hear two people passionate about antiracism and antibias events talk about what the future could bring. I'll be asking Lydia about her evolution of race consciousness and sharing some of mine. I can't promise I'll have the technological capability to read comments during this chat, but I'll make my best effort. I hope to see some of you there, and to the Contrabandits, thank you all for your support!

Don't forget that anyone can join me as a guest on The Contraband Wagon. The only criteria are an open mind and an open heart. We also allow for anonymous guests (to the audience, not to me). Check out my conversation with Ben to get a flavor of what conversations on race with me are like and to hear some information about the future of The Contraband Wagon. Be active in the conversation by posting your questions and comments in the chat. See you there!
