This month Ryan and Jenine are joined by Aira CEO Troy Otillio to discuss on-line shopping, give some updates on Starbucks and other Aira News and answer some excellent questions from our customers. 

Part of the Smithsonian Institute, the National Museum of African American History and Culture is rich with collections just right for exploring with Aira. For our next two programs, we’ll take a look through these collections and other on-line content from the NMAAHC spotlighting music and sports. Host Stephanie Watts ventures through two aspects of American life that bring us together while telling the stories of the difficult path to get here.

Aira is pleased to share our first explorer call dedicated to those living in Australia, New Zealand and the  Oceania region. Aira’s Director of Customer Experience, Emily Hill, joins Graham Innes of Blind citizens Australia to discuss all things Aira. 

Baseball season may be over but we never get tired of learning about America’s game. Stephanie Watts, Paul Mimms and Paul Schroeder are joined in this episode by Ray Doswell, Vice President of Curatorial Services at the Negro League Baseball Museum. The Negro Leagues gave us not only a rich history but a direct path to baseball, and integrated sports as we know them today.  You can check out this museum at www.nlbm.com.

In Part Two of our visit to the NMAAHC, we’ll continue our exploration of music and sports and their intersectionality. Join Stephanie Watts and our Aira Agents as we delve into the vast collections of this museum.  .
