Dear Friend, 

Launching Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast last year was an important moment for Race Forward. It was an experiment. We wanted to see if we could bring our racial justice messaging and tools even closer to you through an audio format.

We could have never anticipated the amount of love and support from across the country as we navigated learning this new platform. We were forced to stop recording at the height of the COVID-19 health emergency, and when we returned, we pivoted to provide important content during the national uprisings against systemic racism and police brutality.

At that point, YOU did the rest –– your support carried Momentum into Apple Podcasts' Top 100 Podcasts list, placing us at # 83 at its peak position. We could not have done this without you!

It’s been quite a journey to say the least –– and we thank you for trusting us during these critical moments. 

We are excited to present Season 2 later this month. (Because we don't stop!) But in the meantime, we invite you to revisit Season 1 from the very beginning. Our dynamic and inspiring hosts Chevon and Hiba will be back with brand new interviews, segments, and content as we get ready for the first ever Facing Race: A National Virtual Conference, (November 10 - 12, 2020)
