The Holding of Community (Seeds Taking Root)
How do we create spaces where seeds of change can take root and flourish?
In this episode of Beyond the Screen: OTV’s 10-Year Legacy, hosts Elijah McKinnon and Dr. AJ Escoffery reflect on the power and pitfalls of representation—who gets to tell stories, who they serve, and how we hold ourselves accountable in the process. With special guest Sonya Childress, they explore how to create work that mirrors community without reproducing the same systems we’re trying to transform.
