“In the same spirit that inspired civil rights pioneers like Ella Baker, Urban Cusp has created a cutting-edge platform for thought-provoking dialogue on the most pressing social and cultural issues of our day. I am excited about its potential for challenging individuals from all walks of life to think more critically and to live their lives in service of community uplift. I believe that Urban Cusp is truly ‘on the cusp’ of something prolific!”
