Futuro Media is launching – We Imagine…Us – a project that seeks to inspire and elevate innovative ideas aimed at solving the most pressing problems facing our communities as a result of decades of racial inequality.

For the first time ever, Futuro Media is producing an original fiction podcast along with PRX, “We Imagine…Us: The Long Way Around,” starring Emmy-winner Karrueche Tran in her debut podcast performance. The compelling and audio-rich series takes us on a journey filled with twists and turns through the center of the country and explores themes of racial injustice, family and community healing and solidarity while telling the story of one family’s journey to build a new life for themselves.

This compelling drama holds up a mirror to the challenges of our contemporary world and was inspired by recent events and interviews with members of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Solidarity Council on Racial Equity (SCoRE) including John Legend, Ava DuVernay, Michelle Alexander, Heather McGhee and others. A companion podcast series Re-Imagination Nation with Maria Hinojosa features our interviews with these thought-leaders about where we are and about how we can work together to create a more just and equitable world.

To kickoff the launch of this series, we are holding a live virtual event hosted by Maria Hinojosa to preview the podcasts and to hear your ideas about racial justice and to talk with SCoRE members Saru Jayaraman, Jerry Tello, Linda Sarsour and Mayra Santos-Febres, as well as the President & CEO of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation La June Montgomery Tabron.

Join us for this lively discussion centered around re-imagining a better and more just world and hear a sneak peak of the new podcast.
