    Our Freedom Can’t Wait

    What if we could …

    🤲🏾 Gather together in a room with beautiful food and music?

    🤲🏽 Share our stories with no pressure, fear, or judgment?

    🤲🏻 Connect authentically, making space for strangers to become allies?

    How healing would that be?

    For the second year in a row, High Desert Playback and Explora Science Center’s X Studio come together in celebration of the National Day of Racial Healing. This initiative, launched in 2017 by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is “a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism.”
