40 Lessons40 Lessons - Episode 21 - The hope of our RVA as we live in RichmondThe the last seven years, the RVA brand has grown to represent the best of what we have to offer here in Richmond. While we live in Richmond and work through the impact of policies and practices from generations ago that still determine quality of life today, we need to have two conversations. One that builds us up and helps to imagine and realize a better version of ourselves. And another that tears down the legacy of injustice as we build a better city. Our “tale of two cities” is deeper than just the differences across line of race, class, loca...2017-09-2507 min

40 Lessons40 Lessons - Episode 15 - Lynching is an outrage important for us to seeOur journey creating reconciled community must include exploration of our history. Some of that history is hard and difficult to understand. But we can’t run from the truth. Truth is required for us to secure a better future. I appreciate Hannah Ayers and Lance Warren at Field Studio creating the documentary film An Outrage ( www.an-outrage.com ). It can help people understand our pain, anger and fear as we deal with present violence reminding us of past atrocities.2017-04-1408 min

And resolve to continue doing something to try and make that happen.
