“Rashawn Davis is the real deal: smart, curious, imaginative, and passionate about engaging with ideas and connecting with audiences. I was fortunate to partner on stage with Rashawn this spring at the Brooklyn History Center and he was the best, most sensitive and probing interlocutor of my book tour. Rashawn brings intelligence, warmth, and sincerity to any discussion, and he shines as a moderator, panelist, and conversation partner on a wide range of subjects. The mic is in skilled hands when Rashawn holds it.”
