Penciled In Trailer

In order to grow, thrive, believe, hope, and dream, we must acknowledge that living in a more just society is linked to understanding our past, living for the present, and innovating for the future. The unfortunate reality is our lived experiences have not been equitable. Our society is rooted in intentional divides that separate people by constructs rather than the values that make us brilliant humans. Your host, David Hardy Jr. has been a teacher to a superintendent and has seen through education the inequities that plague society. Now he wants to make sure those stories are not erased but solutions become more than penciled in.
