At the mark of the one year anniversary of Relay of Voices, the Relay Team is again embarking down the Mississippi River—but in light of the times, they are reaching out virtually, via a series of Zoom Meetings starting July 9 and running through November 5, 2020.
Each week of the Relay, Victoria and Tom plan to intersect with the same individuals and communities that they forged relationships with last year. Over the course of an hour long presentation, the team will share reflections on the entirety of the experience and how these resonate with the focal communities that week. Questions and conversation are encouraged amongst online participants.
The weekly Zoom Reunion sessions will be recorded and made available for viewing here on relayofvoices.com. Direct links will be listed below next to each calendar listing.
