Race Relay

Share Your Story - Story Is Medicine

Join us for monthly Race Conversations

As a part of the Race Relay experience, "passing the baton" to the community is a key and integral piece to the movement. This is where the real work for our community begins, and we hope you will join us in helping to cultivate a safe space to discuss race. Our goal is to continue the conversation monthly and it is not required that you attended the performances. We welcome all who want to join us and engage in dialogue centering race. All we ask of participants is to come with an open mind that is willing to explore, practice active listening, utilize your own personal experiences, and be willing to engage in conversation.

What is Race Relay

RACE RELAY uses interactive multimedia theatrical storytelling and community dialogue to examine who we are as human beings and how we relate to one another. We value the importance of stories to support the healing of individuals, communities, and society.

Racism is a struggle we have all been dealing with since the millennia. RACE Relay strives to break down tribalism and the constructs that separate us, by using the authentic stories of ourselves and our experiences.
