Join us every Friday in June, at 2pm, on our Facebook Live as we process the ups and downs of maintaining a healthy relationship during the pandemic, protests, and pride.
Your hosts, Isaiah (he/him) and Valerie (she/they) will talk a little bit about how their week has been, and then open up the conversation for questions, comments, or support around relationships.
STAR TRACK staff will be in the comments of the stream and on standby in our direct messages for questions about resources and linkage to care.
NEW EPISODES EVERY SATURDAY
Overall Purpose:
The purpose of the show is to provide a critical examination of society and culture through the intersectional lens of race, gender, and class; more specifically it seeks to provide a COUNTER-NARRATIVE. The Show encourages a reflective assessment and critique of unique standpoints and their potential contribution to popular discourse.
Objectives:
Go behind the pages with best-selling authors Daniel Silva, Esther Safran Foer and Adeena Sussman, as they reveal essentials of the writing process in virtual conversation with a notable family member or friend. Tickets include books provided by The Ivy Bookshop, and access link to the zoom discussion.

Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America--but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.
This month, Maryland Humanities’ living history series goes virtual as the organization raises the voices of four notable women who took action to secure their right to vote. Sherrie Tolliver brings Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954) to life. Born in Tennessee to two formerly enslaved business owners, Terrell helped to found the National Association for Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the National Association for Colored Women’s Clubs (NACWC). She worked with the National Women’s Party in picketing at the White House in support of women’s suffrage.
