PechaKucha Providence hosts free monthly events where the Greater Providence community comes together to share ideas, creations, and stories using the PechaKucha format of 20 images that each last 20 seconds. It's kind of like a "show and tell" for grown-ups. 

Revill and Jenna sit down with PechaKucha Providence board members Chris Donovan and Cherai DiMeo and chat about how PechaKucha has become a third place for them and so many in the Rhode Island community. Chris and Cherai discuss how PechaKucha has become a "third place" for many, sharing personal stories of belonging and growth. They also delve into the topic of processing grief, highlighting how storytelling can be a powerful tool for healing. Additionally, Cherai provides an insightful breakdown of the ongoing rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, discussing the cultural implications of their feud.
