A landmark tower and factory, vacant for 20 years, in the historically Black neighborhood of Orange Mound in Memphis, is now getting a makeover — into an ambitious mixed-use development for Black art, entrepreneurship, retail & housing. Led by a collective of artists from Unapologetic and Tone, this 7‑acre site is no small undertaking. How are they making it happen?
Join Urban Consulate host Orlando P. Bailey & our friends at Building Community Value at the historic Cochrane House in Detroit for an intimate conversation with co-developer James Dukes (aka IMAKEMADBEATS) of Unapologetic.

Seating is limited. RSVP required.

Made possible thanks to Ford Foundation.

Join us for a special advance screening of our next public television episode of Urban Consulate Presents hosted by Naimah Bilal on CET exploring what equity in education looks like with Black students and educators in the city. How are they working to advance antiracist policies and practices to improve positive outcomes for students? Premiere followed by interactive dialogue.

Are we aware of how much media influences our thinking? How can we stop the spread of misinformation and polarization? Join hosts Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque and Jessica Green to welcome Dr. Stephanie Edgerly, Associate Professor and Director of Research at Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism, to Courageous Conversations presented by Urban Consulate at Barrington’s White House (& online!)

What do we have to do in our bodies, minds & hearts to stay present and to not give up, even when it’s hard? Zina & Jess welcome the amazing Dr. Krista Robinson-Lyles of Hope Education Group for a beautiful, personal conversation about practical ways to listen to our bodies, ask ourselves questions, and find our “joy, anyhow” as we surf the waves of building more just and equitable communities.
