What does it mean to build real community beyond performative allyship?

In this episode of Make Room for More, host Stacy Lentz sits down with Dr. Terresa Hardaway, abolitionist, graphic design professor, and owner of Blackbird Revolt and Black Garnet Books. Together, they explore how design and counter-storytelling serve as powerful tools for activism, why physical spaces must go beyond rainbow flags to offer safety, and how movements can resist current divestments from DEI by intentionally creating spaces where Black, Brown, and queer community members feel seen and valued.

Make Room for More: Reservations Welcome is a Streamr Studio production supporting The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative.

Raquel Willis joins host Stacy Lentz for an honest conversation about identity, visibility, self-care, and the personal cost of creating change.
