Join Daily Work in Conversation on First Saturdays

We Believe Listening is Essential to Growth and Connection

That’s why Daily Work launched Equity Chats – a monthly Saturday morning Zoom series where we come together to reflect, learn, and build community. Each session is grounded in a common resource such as a book, article, or video. 

Everyone is welcome. We do ask that attendees read, watch, or listen to some or all of the material in advance, as each participant will have dedicated time to share their experience with it.

We intentionally create protected space for reflection and sharing so that everyone can be heard. This structure helps build psychological safety, honors all voices, and invites deeper listening and thoughtful engagement.

First Saturday of Every Month • 9:30–10:30 a.m.

What to expect:
• Welcome from facilitators
• Round-robin check-in: How are you as a human?
• Share out from each attendee about the materials
• If time remains, open space for additional thoughts and questions

If you're worried about participating due to accessing online materials, let us know – we are working to find ways to ensure everyone can participate. Also note that many of these titles are available at your local library!

Upcoming Equity Chats

September 5

Toni Morrison’s Recitatif follows two women who meet as children and cross paths several times throughout their lives. Morrison deliberately never tells readers which woman is Black and which is white, creating a powerful exploration of race, identity, memory, and the assumptions we bring to other people’s stories. The result is a short but layered work that invites reflection and conversation long after the final page.

Check availability at Hennepin or Ramsey County Libraries or buy it at Bookshop.org.

October 3

In Somewhere in the Unknown World, Kao Kalia Yang tells the stories of refugees from around the world who have made new lives in the Twin Cities. Yang interviewed each person, researched the histories of places she had not experienced herself, and then shared her written account with the individual to ensure accuracy. The product is a moving collection that goes beyond headlines and statistics to uncover the people behind them; revealing the resilience that shapes the refugee experience.
