EmbRACE LA Dialogue

In this first iteration of a series of public dialogues, three prominent, African American female leaders respond to the concept of racial equity through the lens of art making, curation, and public sector leadership. The embRACE LA initiative is a City of Los Angeles program that strives to promote racial inclusion in the civic life of all Angelenos; promote mutual cultural understanding among residents; create awareness and reform strategies to comprehensively address institutional racial bias through the City’s service delivery system; and achieve racial equity for all residents.
