Episode Description
A number of persons across the country have begun to benefit from a new, innovative course under the Racial Equity and Justice Initiative (REJI). The initiative was introduced on September 15, 2020, by the Founder and President of the Sankofa Global Project, Tracy Gray. Ms. Gray describes this new course as "a powerful venture that will advance the vision for Truth, Reparation, and Reconciliation". Participants are expected to obtain the crucial skill sets to create a Racial Equity and Justice Toolkit. The Toolkit would allow creators to initiate and develop a variety of programs and set the pace for equitable and fair interactions among individuals and groups in various communities both locally and globally.
