August 10, 2022 • Dr. Catherine Meeks • Episode 39

This conversation challenges all generations to both share their stories, and listen.

Turn up the volume because in this episode, Dr. Meeks and Host, Chelsi Glascoe, sit down and chat with two fiery college students: Aliayah Simmons, Freshman at Georgia State University and, Chris Isidoro Saldivar, Junior at Clark Atlanta University.

Both Aliayah and Chris learn and grow as interns at the Center for Racial Healing and you'll be privy to hear their personal experiences as it relates to racial trauma, healing, and passing down stories.

It will surprise you to discover the information gap between generations! Our conversation will shine a light on the work we must do and how we can keep the history, richness, and authenticity of our culture alive and thriving.
