The St. Louis Public Radio newsroom\, like other local media outlets\, covered the story. But the news organization decided it needed to do more. They tasked two people — reporters Tim Lloyd and Emanuele Berry — to design a project that would examine race in St. Louis. The result was the We Live Here Podcast.  \nThis month’s theme will be COVID-19 xenophobia as we listen to Asian-American persons from our community talk about the racism they faced at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. Brené states  “I’ve spent over 20 years studying the emotions and experiences that bring meaning and purpose to our lives\, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: We are hardwired for connection\, and connecting requires courage\, vulnerability\, and conversation.” The episode centers around Kendi X. Ibram\, the best-selling author of the book “How to Be an Antiracist\,” and his definition of “antiracist”.
