ACTIVIST

---

After her 2018 viral video of two Black men unjustly arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks sparked an international conversation, Melissa DePino co founded a national movement to desegregate the public conversation about race and racism, has written extensively on the role of white Americans in antiracism work, and has spoken to audiences globally to create awareness and inspire action toward racial equity and justice. Her work has been featured on Red Table Talk, NPR’s Radio Times and Code Switch, Matter of Fact with Soledad O’Brien, AM Joy, and in numerous television, print and online outlets. 

Melissa is at work on a forthcoming book, UNCOMFORTABLE.
