Conversation Series 140 – Ben Vaeth-Levin

I’m excited to introduce you to the next guest on The Contraband Wagon (our hundred-and-fortieth Conversation Series event), Ben Vaeth-Levin! I was introduced to Ben through a trusted friend, a dear brother, and a friend of the show. He just knew Ben and I would be aligned in our thinking on the subject of race, and it turns out he was right!

We had a 30-minute pre-livestream Zoom call where I gave him some background about the show, he asked me some questions (we even had a follow-up call to go over some stuff), we discussed the content of the show, and he scheduled a date/time to appear.  I’m really looking forward to having an in-depth discussion with someone whose passion on the subject of race and whose work as an antiracist activist (my label) aligns with my own.

Don’t forget that anyone can join me as a guest on The Contraband Wagon. The only criteria are an open mind and an open heart. We also allow for anonymous guests (to the audience, not to me). Check out my conversation with Ben to get a flavor of what conversations on race with me are like and to hear some information about the future of The Contraband Wagon. Be active in the conversation by posting your questions and comments in the chat. See you there!
