22 FEB 2023 · Wine with Adam is back and this season begins with a discussion between host and CEO of Israel Innovation Fund Adam Bellos and Theory of Enchantment founder Chloé Valdary. Valdary, a pro-Israel African American and former activist, explains that after being disillusioned with Hasbara's ability to solve anti-semitism she created the three principled "Theory of Enchantment".
The theory of enchantment is a “DEI” diversity equity and inclusivity program that uses storytelling to promote critical thinking and empathy. After George Floyd and the rise of Black Lives Matter, she realized that the Theory of enchantment was a perfect antidote and alternative to the other DEI programs that taught 'white fragility' and inbred and insolvable racism.
Valdary and Bellos also discuss recent controversies surrounding Dave Chappelle's latest Saturday Night Live appearance, Kanye "Ye" West and what these mean for relations between the Black and Jewish communities.
