Award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien will focus on disrupting and dismantling systemic racism by sharing voices and perspectives that often go unheard.

She will bring powerful, real world insights in selected U.S. cities where efforts are underway to reform policing, incarceration, education, land ownership and more. Soledad aims to leave audiences with a new understanding of how each of us can better understand and assist in dismantling systemic racism.
