At its core, Dandelions: Gods Don’t Cry is about resilience, transformation, and self-acceptance. The dandelion, often dismissed as a weed, symbolizes Blackness, queerness, and survival—thriving in places where it wasn’t meant to, adapting, and still standing tall. Through the 13-track journey, the album explores: Personal and collective Black histories, linking past and present struggles to the beauty of endurance. Queer identity and self-reclamation, navigating the world as both marginalized and divinely powerful. Family, grief, and healing, with storytelling that honors legacy while challenging systemic erasure. Musically, the album is immersive and cinematic, weaving together hip-hop, soul, and spoken word. It is meant to be experienced as a living, breathing piece of literature, aligned with Roy's mission to elevate rap as a literary art form. Information Source: Arts + Public Life | eventbrite

8am Preconference SoJo Meetup | OPTIONAL New to solutions journalism? Join the Medill Midwest Solutions Journalism Hub before the kickoff of the Summer Summit for a grounding in the fundamentals of solutions journalism. This fast-paced, interactive session will support your understanding of concepts shared through the day and at free trainings offered through the Hub throughout the year. 9-9:15am Welcome Remarks 9:15-10:30am Conflict As a Force for Growth Right now, conflict is shaping headlines, policies and communities in ways that can either divide or strengthen us. When this occurs, news media have a unique opportunity to reframe the stories we report and the engagements we support, shifting from high conflict to good conflict. Led by Hub Director Deborah Douglas; Chris Green, executive editor of The Journal at Kansas Leadership Center for the Common Good; and Andrea Hart , a media organizer and chaplain, this 90-minute interactive workshop explores what conflict is really about and provide examples of high and good conflict in news stories. Participants will learn looping, a deep listening technique, and investigate the “understory” during a breakout exploring how to report with nuance, depth and clarity. 10:30-11:15am Real Impact: Journalism That Dismantles Systemic Injustice Join us for a compelling dialogue with Chicagoan Robert Johnson, a recent exonree, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alison Flowers , whose groundbreaking reporting was instrumental in securing Johnson's release from prison.

This 2.5-hour firestarter session and interactive workshop challenges journalists to reimagine their role in society — not just as documenters of change, but as catalysts and partners in addressing the systemic challenges to a credible news and information ecosystem. This isn't just a conversation—it's an activation. Facilitated by Flip Labs Founder Cheryl Dahle , a former journalist who works at the intersection of design and social change, participants will step into the role of creative agitator. she will be joined by Candice Fortman , JSK Fellow and Outlier Media board member and Ashir Badami , senior lecturer, leader of Media Management and Leadership at Medill. Guided by design thinking principles, summit attendees will actively co-create solutions that support a viable news and information ecosystem.

Ride Specifics Mileage: Day 1: roughly 100 Miles | Day 2: roughly 2 miles with return on Metra Support: Self supported - you carry all of your own camping gear on your own bike. No vehicle support. Lodging: Tent (camping gear not provided). We will stay at Chain O' Lakes State Park (IL DNR) located at 8916 Wilmot Road, Spring Grove IL 60081 ( map ). Pace: 12-15mph Trail/Route: Paved road with minimal gravel incorporated and possible snow. Age: Adult Ride (21+) Trip Description All aboard the Out Our Front Door Express as we trace the historic route of the grand old Roarin’ Elgin - the once-mighty interurban railway that soared along the banks of the Fox River. Setting out from Chicago, we first roll onto the Illinois Prairie Path. The very first Rails to Trails path, this route connects many scenic suburban towns and villages through its over 61 miles of pavement and gravel. Riding west with the early summer sun, we’ll stop for breakfast at the vibrant Wheaton French Market to grab fresh-baked pastries, local small batch cold brew, and other delights. Energized and fortified, we turn west up the Fox River trail and sail along the riverside through historic towns whose fortunes waxed and waned with the rails. We’ll see the Fox River Railway Museum in South Elgin, ride by windmills in Geneva, a restored train depot in Batavia, and maybe stop for BBQ in a converted caboose in Dundee! In between towns, we’ll take a break from the sun as the trail curls through deeply shaded oak forests, broad freshwater fens, and stunning stretches of oak savannah. As the summer sun starts to dip low, we’ll leave the Fox River valley behind and travel through the final miles of rolling farmland to arrive at Chain O’Lakes state park. Dinner awaits you on arrival, along with s’more and story telling around the campfire. This multi-modal adventure will cover approximately 100 miles on the first day. The following morning we ride a few short miles into Fox Lake to load up a Metra bike car and ride the rails back into Chicago to rest and recover. What's Included Campsite and firewood Food for Day 1 dinner and Day 2 breakfast.
