R4R: Conversations that Educate and Elevate
Race for Reconciliation and its R4R podcast is designed to provide conversations that educate and elevate. When it comes to inequality, the negative voice unfortunately is often the loudest voice. We sadly live in a world where inequality and disadvantage not only still exist, but also are overlooked and neglected by many. However, our position is that of a positive voice. A voice that patiently listens, seeks to understand, and represents kindness. A voice that compliments instead of criticizes. A voice that is proactive instead of passive.Imagine the possibilities when our differences represent our strengths, not our weaknesses. What’s possible when we are unified and truly liberated? What hangs in the balance of our decision to prove love works?Our position is to leverage all platforms and partners to educate and elevate all people.

Join us as we talk about how education and other investments in the lives of black children can break the cycle of poverty and build wealth. Karin Conlee, Executive Director of R4R, interviews Board Member Drew Bailey, who talks about his grandmother’s influence on his life, and how her sacrifices ensured that he and his siblings were afforded opportunities in education and other arenas. We can draw lessons from his Grandmother and learn how affording these same opportunities to today’s black children can make a difference in each life, and in our communities across the nation.
