"Planetary Humanism"
a clip from the March 27th event
On March 27, 2025, I was so grateful to have shared space with nearly 70 incredible individuals during a recent event, "Overcoming Racism: A Conversation on Finding Togetherness and Embracing Our Shared Humanity," at The Hill Center in DC. It was an honor to engage alongside Dr. Gail Carpenter, moderated thoughtfully by Nwandi Lawson, MBA.
Here's a brief highlight, captured by Rev. Dr. Starlette Thomas. I'm thankful for opportunities like these to continue advocating for togetherness and the collective embrace of our shared humanity.
Thank you to my continued partnership with folks from the U.S. Baha'i Office of Public Affairs for creating and curating the event. 💛 Mat Cotton Jr
PJ Andrews and Selvi Adaikkalam Zabihi.
Let's keep the conversation and action moving forward.
