Under the banner of Our Voice, the organization produces narrative work that informs, uplifts, and inspires action. The award-winning Good Trouble podcast sparks honest dialogue on race, culture, and democracy; Mi Gente celebrates Boston’s Latinx communities and their global connections; and the monthly newsletter, The Fine Print, offers behind-the-scenes insight into Embrace Boston’s activations, partnerships, and impact. Together, these platforms form a living archive of belonging — centering community voices, challenging misinformation, and weaving a collective story of progress in motion.
