News & Events: Equity Chats

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.

Interested in joining? Registration is required.

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


October 29

The conversation continues! After exploring the stories and experiences shared in Somewhere in the Unknown World, we invite you to join us for an evening with author Kao Kalia Yang at The O’Shaughnessy on October 29. Daily Work has even reserved a limited amount of seats at $25.20 each, a 30% savings off the regular price. Yang will share more about her background and how it shaped her writing. 

Buy your tickets by calling The O'Shaughnessy at 651-690-6700 and ask for the Daily Work Section and discount.

November 7

This month’s selection is The Pruitt-Igoe Myth, a documentary that explores the rise and fall of the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex in St. Louis. Through archival footage and the stories of former residents, the film challenges common assumptions about why the development failed and invites viewers to consider the roles of segregation, public policy, disinvestment, poverty, and systemic inequality.

View the film on its website for a $3.95 rental fee, stream for free with your library card on Kanopy, or view it on Amazon Prime.
