It's been such an emotional and confusing time for our communities and Beauty for Freedom wanted to address the police brutality and widespread systemic racism representing historical and current sources of trauma in communities of color.

We decided to go back to our communities of artists and thought leaders and have started a special #BreakingDistance Podcast series discussing Race Relations, political activism and the role of the arts and communication in healing; the first episode features Miguel Carter-Fisher, Professor at Virginia State University and Artist (Narrative Painter). This is our response to our current civil rights crisis, the collective trauma caused by inequality and violence, and processing our emotions throughout.

Evolution is the ongoing process of change.

If we want to consciously and intentionally change

our social systems, we need to talk together about it.

The more inclusive, wise and productive our

conversations are, the more powerful and positive

the changes will be. - The Role of Conversation in Evolution (The Co-Intelligence Institute)
