Gathering Ground: Fireside Chat with Angelique and Tracie - Part 1

“We can’t let ‘Black Girl Magic’ become ‘Black Girl Tragic.’” -Tracie Hall

Mary was thrilled to be joined once again by Tracie Hall and Angelique Power for another fireside chat - this time recorded on location in Detroit at the beautiful Motown Motivated Studios! Since missing last year's conversation, both of these powerhouses have continued to thrive in their work - Tracie as Executive Director of the American Library Association, and Angelique as President and CEO of Skillman Foundation in Detroit.

Over the course of this two-part episode, Tracie, Angelique, and Mary discuss current events, Angelique’s move to Detroit, Tracie’s work at ALA, and even what grief can look like for each of us when faced with loss. You won’t want to miss the first part of this phenomenal conversation - tune in now wherever you listen!conversation!
