(Bonus) Leveraging Networks, adrienne maree brown x The Government Alliance on Race and Equity

28 minutes

On this bonus episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, adrienne maree brown, author of the critically acclaimed book Emergent Strategy spoke with the Government Alliance on Race and Equity’s Director of Innovative Practice Cecelia Olusola Tribbl as a part of the network’s 2023 membership meeting.

In this conversation, adrienne and Olusola talk about the importance of building dynamic partnerships and networks to foster “collaborative ideation,” and building adaptable institutions to address and advance racial equity. adrienne invokes the work of Octavia Butler, noted science fiction author, recipient of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards, and the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship, to talk about the “fecundity” and resilience needed in these uncertain times, her own methodology for speculative fiction, and the humanity that can be found in networked relationships
