Shades of Discourse is a gathering space and community forum for Black artists, organizers, and thinkers to imagine radical futures together. My good friend and fellow Denverite, Payton Johnson, facilitates the space in collaboration with NYU's Urban Democracy Lab, the People's Forum, the Culture LP, and several other sponsors. It is truly an honor to be the face of SOD's visual identity, and always something I look forward to working on.
