Today’s conversation is about dreaming as disruption.

I’m honored to talk with author, independent researcher, and community connector Dr. Stephanie R. Burns.

Dr. Burns is a Master Dreamer, founder, and host of Reimagine New Orleans. Reimagine New Orleans is a series of community gatherings that invite residents, artists, elders, culture-bearers, and thinkers to collectively envision the future of the city rooted in memory, creativity, and shared heritage.

Her work disrupts the idea that dreaming is passive or impractical. Instead, she reminds us that dreaming—especially in communities shaped by loss, displacement, and resilience—is a form of planning. A form of care.
