the Toad Listens: Complete "pain and perspective" series

A consolidated collection of our entire “pain and perspective” series. Through 4 videos, 2 podcast episodes, and an essay, we listen in to our local residents of color as they talk through their stories and perspectives relating to the anti-racism events of the past year. This is a politically neutral series that invites everyone to listen and to learn as tough questions are thoughtfully explored.
