This interview series is a component of The Richmond Racial Equity Essays, a multimedia project comprising a collection of essays, video interviews and a virtual discussion series focused on racial equity in Richmond, Virginia. In this series, urban planner and diversity, equity and inclusion consultant Ebony Walden talks with Richmonders from all walks of life and sectors to explore their visions for an equitable Richmond, especially as it relates to racial equity, and the strategies that will help us get there. The hope is that this project will lead Richmond (the former Capital of the Confederacy) toward a solid framework for advancing racial equity and be a model for discussion in other U.S. cities.
