Growing up in small town Maryland, close enough to the big cities to have fun but close enough to the country to have space, Melissa has always had a love for good stories and people. Self-describing as the least cool of the cool kids in high school, she finds ways of breaking out of groups and clicks to include who she can.

Cori grew up in rural upstate New York in a K-12 school of 200 total students. He attended Simon's Rock College beginning in the 10th grade then moving on to SUNY Purchase for his Bachelors in Philosophy. Cori began life after college as a saleman of goods with which he had no connection with or passion for, leading to Cori's "favorite failure" moment that shifted his life toward the work he does with public policy and disability service provision where they champion the idea that accessibility requires inclusion with the phrase "Nothing about us without us". He is deeply passionate about Beauty in the world and the major ideas that shape it, which he channels into his own podcast called, A Freedom Of Ideas.

You may have noticed that we did not release an interview episode this Tuesday. We deliberately chose to forgo posting an episode this week to allow ourselves and our community some extra space to process and learn about the Black Lives Matter movement happening in our country. We are unequivocally behind calls for reform and for equitable justice in this country for our black brothers, sisters and siblings. We are both in the midst of waking up to the systems in our country that have dehumanized black people of color and are educating ourselves on what we can do.

Here we discuss our personal processes over the past couple weeks and offer some resources that we've been paying attention to as we learn to listen to what people of color have been saying for years about the bias and unequal systems in our country.

We are not experts here. We are not teachers. We may have even gotten something wrong in this recording. We are here as fellow students. We're not here to be right. We're here to get it right. Grace and peace, friends.
