Christopher Rivas

What is the role of Brownness in a Black/white world? That's the question Dominican-Colombian-American actor, author and storyteller Christopher Rivas has been navigating his whole life. Listen as Chris discusses identity, careers, and taking up space with other Brown activists, creators and change-makers. Brown Enough is the stories between Black and white.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the feed to find Rubirosa, a ten-part documentary series about Porfirio Rubirosa, the Dominican diplomat, playboy, and international polo champion who was the inspiration for James Bond. The show tells the true story of Rubi’s incredible and complicated life and Chris learns what it can teach him about love, success, family, Hollywood, code-switching, white-washing, and the roller coaster of finding himself in a world not made for Brown folks like him.

Solidarity is stronger than gravity—and stronger than the corporate greed that’s invaded every aspect of American life. But building it is hard. It requires empathy, commitment, courage, and clarity of vision. From years of experience, I can tell you that housing advocate Tara Raghuveer has done something remarkable. Starting with her neighbors in Kansas City, Mo., she created a tenants union that’s become a leader in the fight for better regulations, protections, and rights for renters. This year she expanded her reach, launching the Tenant Union Federation to help others across the country build power, and forging a movement of working-class solidarity changing the way Americans think about rent, housing, and our basic rights. Her organizing could impact millions and shift our national conversation about housing. And just as important—Tara has helped thousands embrace the power that’s available to all of us through solidarity.

Wassup y’all - this is a little bonus in the feed today. I wanted to share that Brown Enough is officially out in paperback today! It now comes with and includes a study guide and the Enough Workbook or as we call it - the field guide to enoughness. At a time when the stakes feel impossibly high, I’m reminded of the power of story to connect, heal, and inspire. My hope is that Brown Enough continues to be more than a book. I hope it becomes a tool, a mirror, a bridge—a way for us to see each other and ourselves more clearly. We need that clarity now more than ever.
