Conversation Series 103 – Linda Christmas

Come check out The Contraband Wagon, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-three Conversation Series event, I will be speaking with Linda Christmas. Linda is a waitress at my local Waffle House. I always try to speak with people in my local community about race and just their lives. Between bites of eggs and bacon, Linda and I became acquainted enough for me to learn about her family and their experience with tragedy and trauma, her experience with race/racialization, her anti-violence advocacy work, and her general wisdom from living and learning. She attended my recent live event for The Contraband Wagon, I invited her to appear on the livestream near the end of the event, and she accepted. Seeing is believing, and she saw me. You can see us, too, talking about race, violence, poverty, opportunity, crime, and more. Bring your comments and questions and type them into the chat!
