Join Tasha Simms as she speaks with Maurice Ashely, the Worlds First Black Chess Grand Master Maurice Ashely about his thoughts on what is happening today  and what he thinks needs to happen.

How do we create real and lasting change? Why is understanding the root cause of racism and the history of enslavement essential as a starting point?  The real violent element in society is ignorance. We don’t need band aids on problems that need surgery.

It’s time to get uncomfortable. What does being an ally look like? What does being anti racist mean? We invite  Maurice to share his take on what is truly helpful to aid the movement of ending racism and affecting change.
