DPI Professor Bayeté Ross Smith (@bayetekenan) was named one of the embedded artists of The New York Times' Race/Related blog earlier this year. In an illuminating conversation with his fellow team members, Ross Smith asks and answers "potentially awkward race-related questions on Instagram and sharing the answers with [readers] as a way to start more open, personal conversations about race."
