This month’s “Music & Stories” aims to move the subject of race from just being a black and white issue to something more expansive. We’ll connect with each other regardless of race, ethnicity or social economic status through storytelling and music to foster authentic dialogue about the subject. Come down, hear people’s stories and add your own.

Hosted by Luis & Shantell of the Vocalo Overdrive with music by special guest DJ & Host of Vocalo’s Reclaimed Soul Ayana Contreras. Featuring stories from: Ytasha Womack, Sandra Jamison and more.

This Race Edition of “Music & Stories” is a part of Vocalo and WBEZ’s Race: Out Loud series. For the entire summer, we’ve been discussing race—out loud, and on the air, in frank conversations, through sharing stories, and lively events.
