Rewriting the Rules®
Rewriting the Rules® interviews community and business leaders, youth champions, and other radicals whose work builds on the power and genius fundamental to Black communities, Indigenous Communities, and Communities of color. We shine a light on the legacies of creativity, strength and innovation sustaining these communities and offer practical tools for building smart, fair, and loving communities. The podcast is hosted by Dr. Tracine Asberry, Executive Director of St. Paul Youth Services, a Minnesota US based non-profit that is a leader in reimagining how our community engages with and holds itself accountable for Black youth.
