  • Building a thriving community in Winston-Salem

    Season 4 of the Unsung Stewards podcast kicks off with Kellie Easton, President and CEO of Action4Equity, an organization working to transform the education system in her hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In Episode 1, Kellie starts off by grounding us in Action4Equity’s whole-school, whole-community, whole-child approach, demonstrating the connection to the other vital conditions, and how we can do systems change work at multiple levels so that everyone can thrive—in Winston-Salem and beyond. Our conversation with Kellie reveals an approach that is deeply rooted in racial justice and strong shared stewardship, heard in her call to, “build a table that's big enough and long enough for everyone to have a seat.”
