This third episode brings together three participants from the PARR Cohort Days to reflect on solidarity among racialized communities and strategies of resistance within both research and community spaces. The guests discuss issues such as intellectual property, the systemic violence experienced in institutions often seen as “progressive,” and the importance of creating spaces rooted in care, co-construction, and mutual support. The PARR project created a rare space for validation, collective learning, and reclaiming agency. Through personal insights, concrete strategies, and alignment with shared values, participants speak to the project’s deep personal and political impact.
