About Good People Dinners: GP Dinners is a community built around meaningful ​conversations and delicious feasts, a moveable social club for those who value authenticity, a better way to connect with each other. We are also an event production business and regularly create tailored dinner series for a wide range of companies and organizations.

Please email us at least 72 hours in advance if you have any dietary restrictions and we'll do our best to accommodate them.

OUR SPEAKER:

Our friend is an award-winning producer and the creator of Infinite Lunchbox — a non-profit production studio devoted to accelerating the evolution of culture in America.

Previously, she was the Executive Director at the Institute for Cultural Evolution, a non-profit think tank devoted to transcending the polarization that threatens American democracy. She also served as the Executive Producer at the Center for Humane Technology, the organization at the heart of the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma.

Stephanie’s work has been covered by outlets like NPR and the MIT Technology Review, supported by institutions such as the Sundance Institute and Mozilla Foundation, and exhibited throughout the United States and Europe. She won two Webby awards for — a series of explicitly-marked deepfake videos that imagine morally courageous versions of our public figures.

At our second Break Bread Sunday, Stephanie will showcase a range of existing and upcoming media projects that are designed to reinvigorate American democracy in the leadup to the 2024 election. We'll hear the voice of a white supremacist who transcended a life of violence, watch an imaginary Brett Kavanaugh reckon with the way he responded to the sexual allegations against him, and explore a new model for debate that can power a thriving good faith discussion of ideas.
