What does it mean to be a Nashvillian? A black Nashvillian? A white
Nashvillian? What does it mean to be an organizer, an ally, an
elected official, an agent for change? Deep Dish Conversations is a
running online interview series in which host Jerome Moore sits
down over pizza with prominent Nashville leaders and community
members to talk about the past, present, and future of the city and
what it means to live here. The result is honest conversation about
racism, housing, policing, poverty, and more in a safe, brave,
person-to-person environment that allows for disagreement. Deep
Dish Conversations is a curated collection of the most striking
interviews from the first few seasons, including a foreword by Dr.
Sekou Franklin, an introduction by Moore, and contextual
introductions to each interviewee. Figures like Judge Sheila
Calloway, comedian Josh Black, anti-racism speaker Tim Wise,
organizer Jorge Salles Diaz, and many more explore their
wide-ranging perspectives on social change in a city in the midst
of massive demographic and ideological shifts. For anyone in any
twenty-first-century city, Deep Dish Conversations offers a lot to
think about-and a lot of ways to think about it.
