Listen "Getting Beyond Always Wanting To Be Right"
Episode Synopsis
At this weeek's Round Table, Emily, Emmanuel, and Hannah spoke with Chanika Perry and Lance Ozier of Conversation Forward. Chanika, a career educator and Director of Education Programs at Hands On Atlanta, brings over two decades of experience in youth development and education ranging from rural Georgia to the bustling streets of New York City and now Atlanta. Lance, a longtime faculty member at The City University of New York (and a member of our Next Gen Board of Advisors!) has gathered insights from over 20 years in classrooms and camps in Atlanta, New York, and around the world– alongside his unique perspective cultivated growing up on a Georgia farm.
These longtime friends have collaborated for decades at Project Morry and co-founded Conversation Forward in order to foster meaningful exchanges. In our conversations, we delve into topics like identity, racial development, privilege, microaggressions, bias, and creating inclusive spaces in classrooms and camps. We discuss their insightful journeys navigating the intricate complexities of our world through their wealth of experience and thought-provoking perspectives. Our time together exemplified principles of Conversation Forward– it's not just about answers, it's about having the conversations that matter. Thank you for listening!
