My podcast, BreakLines, launches today, earlier than expected, and so it feels like opening a restaurant before the silverware's been delivered. But with all that's going on, it seemed the "grand opening" could no longer wait.

In Episode 1, attached, I build on my experiences reporting on race in the US, Asia, and Africa, to try to make greater sense of the current moment:
"Yes we need to acknowledge the sins of our institutions and support reform that promotes true equality under the law. But we also need to hear from [a greater diversity of perspectives]. Without you and your honest opinions, there is no conversation" and meaningful progress between the races will be limited.

Rise up, stay safe, and thanks for listening.
