The illness of racism was here long before Covid-19, but the pandemic brought it out into a brighter focus. It is too blinding not to see it. It is too loud to be silent in its presence. So we are going to make some noise of our own—the kind of noise you can dance to. On Episode 26, we highlight the dialogues we’ve had over the past year with anti-racist educators and leaders.

When host Khalil Ekulona thinks about his purpose in life, he often thinks of his family. Family is where we get our first lessons and introduction to the world. On Episode 22, Khalil enters conversations with his family about the meaning and purpose of familial love, support, and collective dedication to passing those lessons along.
Whatever Khalil and his siblings' individual interests were, their parents encouraged their kids to go and experience them. And they keep it going for a new generation. You'll hear from his mother, his father, four of his siblings and four of his cousins. This extended online version of the episode includes many more of the gems embedded in these conversations than could fit on the air. We hope you enjoy this retrospective on a dynamic family where righteousness, spirit, drive and a well-timed joke are the only currencies that matter.
