In this episode, summer intern Ethan Rodier speaks with Dr. Ronda Taylor Bullock, Lead Curator (executive director) and co-founder of We Are, a NC nonprofit providing anti-racism training for children, families and educators about how Critical Race Theory has been made a scapegoat and boogeyman in education as it has been attacked by pundits, rallied against by parents and restricted by school boards despite not being taught in K-12 schools. 

In this episode, a North Carolina A&T University student leads a roundtable discussion with current students about why they chose their HBCU. Plus, we check-in with alumni & staff from other #TheNC10 institutions.

In our first episode of Season 3, Janeen Bryant talks with two young Black and Brown community organizers with roots in North Carolina about their trajectory into the space of activism and what they see as the most pressing issues facing the state. Clarissa Brooks is a Charlotte native, independent movement journalist and cultural worker. Mayra Stefanía Arteaga is a Charlotte-based immigrant rights advocate, and co-founder at Comunidad Colectiva. Both draw on their experiences with the education, law enforcement and North Carolina-based movements to inform their approaches to community-based work. Listen as they identify particular challenges for the state and cast a vision for the future. 

On the Margins Podcast is produced by CREED (or the Center for Racial Equity in Education).  Even though this is our second season of the program, it's the first year CREED has officially been in operation publicly. In this episode (recorded on 8/19/20) co-founders James E. Ford and Janeen Bryant reflect on the work of CREED, successes and challenges with discussing race and offer some highlights from Season 2 of the podcast. They share insights about what they envision for moving the organization forward and reflect on ways the state of North Carolina could adopt more race conscious practices for systemic change in education. To commemorate our One Year Anniversary, we have an individual giving fundraising goal of $10,000.
