Days of Our Beginnings, Rebel Spirit
September 2025
Lexington, KY
A focus on how we can use our voices and collective power to challenge injustices and create change—especially in our current political climate.
Days of Our Beginnings proposes to interrogate histories–personal, regional, national, and global–with an eye both towards what we may have overlooked and how deeper knowledge of the past might illuminate our future. What have we not learned about our past? What omissions live in what we thought we knew? How can new awareness guide us towards more meaningful relationships in our present moment and as we look towards what lies ahead?

Equity Talks: Breaking Down Inequity - What It Is and Why It Matters
January 21st 2025
Rebel Spirit: A Case Study will follow Akilah’s career path that led to selling the hit podcast to iHeart, why she chose such a personal project, and her new quest to create the docuseries.
Seeking a deeper understanding of inequity, the audience is taken through an example-filled journey of explaining how inequity differs from inequality, and how they can recognize and therefore overcome it in schools, workplaces, and communities at large.
