S8 E170: Pass The Mic Series: We Want To Experience Racial Unity, Not Just Hear About It With Annette Miller

Dr. Gee welcomes Annette Miller to show to discuss Black leadership and equitable community development in their local community. They have an in-depth discussion around the development of and impact of Justified Anger's Our Madison Plan among the Black community. 

The early years of Justified Anger opened the door to the wider community to receive a convergence of attention on the state of the Madison Black community. The Black leaders had been seeing the state of things for awhile, but it wasn't until that moment that the non-Black community was ready to lean in. Our Madison Plan highlights so many of the Black leaders in Madison who are still doing the work and making it happen. Dr. Gee and Annette reveal how navigating the community as a Black leader is a balancing act, because really they are leaders who are Black.
