Designing for Equity: Storytelling, Connection, & the RADIUS Documentary

We are excited to share the launch of Designing for Equity, a short documentary highlighting our journey at RADIUS of centering equity in our practice and work. We’re welcoming RADIUS friends, alumni, and community to this engaging screening and community networking event.

The evening will open with a musical performance by Khari Wendell Mcclelland, an artist who centers passion, equity, and justice in his work. This will be followed by a screening of our short documentary, and afterwards we invite everyone to stay for light refreshments and connect with the RADIUS community.

We would love for you to join us for this evening centring storytelling and connection as we express our gratitude to our wider community. We look forward to seeing you there!

About Khari Wendell Mcclelland

Khari Wendell McClelland is a diversely talented and ever-evolving artist. Originally from Detroit, Khari has become a darling on the Canadian music scene with reviewers lauding his performances as a clever mix of soul and gospel. Khari’s songwriting crosses genres and generations, joyfully invoking the spirit of his ancestors who straddled the US-Canadian border in efforts to escape slavery and discrimination. His music draws from this rich history, integrating the rhythms and folklore of early African-Americans with contemporary sounds and stories of struggle. Recently, Khari received critical acclaim for his Freedom Singer project, recreating the music fugitive slaves carried on their journey north into Canada. Khari also performs with the Roots Gospel group The Sojourners. Whether on stage or in the studio, Khari's passion for community, equality and justice is palpable, as is his belief in the redemptive power of music.
