Creative Conversation is doing special three-part series covering specific issues within the ongoing protests for racial equality. Every Thursday this month, we’ll be spotlighting the creatives and professionals using their backgrounds, skills, and platforms to push for lasting change.

In this conversation, Rogers explains the personal family trauma behind CommunityX and why it's important to rethink how we organize.
