Building Friendship and Community with Intentional Care with Daniel D. Edwards

In this special in-person episode of The Shift, Mark Travis Rivera sits down with one of Atlanta's most quietly brilliant minds, educator, facilitator, photographer, and movement creative entrepreneur Daniel Davis Edwards. What begins as a conversation about Daniel's multidisciplinary work quickly deepens into something rarer: an honest, unfiltered exploration of what real friendship looks like between two queer men of color, how movement and joy can be acts of resistance, and why the "both/and" philosophy might be the most radical framework available to us right now. This one is personal. And that's exactly the point.Guest Bio: Daniel Davis Edwards is an educator, facilitator, speaker, photographer, and movement teacher based in Atlanta, GA.
