In May, WHRO Public Media, in partnership with the Vietnamese Boat People podcast, held a virtual story slam. Watch some of the performances from participants who shared the uniqueness of their culture and the epic journeys many took to arrive on U.S. soil.

An age-old riddle exposes the principle of gender bias in the workplace. Why are some jobs still seen as being most suitable for men? A new initiative explores what it means to "work like a girl."

I, like many of you find myself once again deeply saddened. Our nation continues to struggle with legacies of injustice, racism and inequity. Over the years, WHRO has shared stories to raise awareness and foster dialogue.

Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us to locate photos for each Virginian veteran whose name appears on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. We are now only missing one photo!
