Welcome to the Be The Bridge Podcast.

Be The Bridge exists to empower people and culture toward racial healing, equity, and reconciliation.

Latasha Morrison founded Be The Bridge in 2016 to foster needed dialogue and brave spaces

and to give people the tools to pursue racial justice.

We provide resources and community to do just that.

And this podcast is one of those resources.

You'll hear interviews hosted by Latasha and our team, conversations about current events,

and encouragement for your racial literacy journey.

Thank you for listening, subscribing, and engaging in this important work.

Welcome, everyone. Thanks for tuning in to the Be the Bridge podcast. I am Elizabeth Barron,

and I am a member of the training team here at Be the Bridge, and I am excited to be

joined today by a dear friend of mine who we've gotten to work together as well, Corrigan Brown,

and we're going to talk a little bit about it being Election Day today, so Corrigan,

want to introduce yourself. Sure. Thanks, Elizabeth. I'm Corrigan

Brown. I am a general purpose volunteer and occasional adjunct faculty at Be the Bridge.

And by day, I do technology. And by day and night, I try to build occasional bridges.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, since it is Election Day, a day that has, there's so much build-up to it, right? Especially here in the U.S., our election season tends to be more than long. You know, a lot of countries in the world, they wrap these things up in a month or two. We like to make a whole hobby out of it, it seems.

But it is election today. So the first thing we want to just recommend, if you haven't yet,

please go vote. There are, you know, looking historically the amount of work and fight that went

into Americans being able to have that right,

other than the original people given that right here in the country.

It's a great thing to make use of in a great way to actually engage in bridge building
