Majora’s work has won major awards including a MacArthur ‘genius’ Grant, a Peabody Award, the Rudy Bruner Award Silver Medal, nine honorary doctorates, and is quoted on the walls of the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture: “Nobody should have to move out of their neighborhood to live in a better one.”

- The role of investment in changing a city’s culture
- What steps can the US take to righting past racial wrongs
- Why the future of cities and urbanization is a bit more local
- Which narratives around health and wealth contribute most to racial inequality
- Why inner city brain drain makes everything all the worse
- How to use triple bottom line businesses to better the world
- What systemic racism looks like from a successful black woman’s perspective
