In a time of growing polarization, how do we talk to one another — across divides, with empathy, and without backing down from truth?
Learn from Jenn White, the dynamic host of WAMU’s 1A and a trusted and compassionate voice in American journalism. With over two decades in public radio and a deep passion for storytelling and getting to the core of issues, Jenn brings her signature clarity and curiosity to the stage. She joins us to share insights from her career, reflections on navigating tough conversations, and tools for building bridges instead of walls.
Guiding the conversation is Natalie Winston, Executive Producer of Booking and Specials at NPR, whose experience behind some of public radio’s most compelling moments ensures an engaging and thoughtful evening.
Whether you’re a news junkie, a curious citizen, or someone eager to sharpen your communication skills, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
