To honor Chip Harrod’s Legacy, we invite you to invest in the Chip Harrod Transformative Dialogue Fund. EquaSion’s year-end giving campaign starts today and continues through the end of December.

For decades, Chip Harrod, EquaSion’s founder and former Executive Director, brought people together across faith, race, and ideology. Chip retired this year but EquaSion is continuing his work through The Chip Harrod Fund for Transformative Dialogue. Dialogue can give us a way forward. When we sit together, listen honestly, and share our stories, something shifts. Understanding grows. Trust grows. Community grows. This is the work Chip spent his life championing, and it’s the work we must continue.

Welcome to Inviting Oneness, a podcast where we explore true stories from friends and members of EquaSion—stories where the illusion of separateness gave way to the deeper truth of our shared humanity. Oneness isn't an idea, it's an experience. And today we continue listening for it one story at a time.

My guest today is Bertha Lynn Davis. Bertha is a storyteller, community advocate, and award-winning playwright, director, and filmmaker based in Norwood, Ohio. She cherishes her roles as a wife, mother, and grandmother - foundations that inspire much of her creative work. After more than 32 years with Procter & Gamble, Bertha founded Three Babies Productions LLC, a company that merges her business experience with her passion for storytelling. Through film, theatre, and community-based projects, she creates work that uplifts themes of inclusion, resilience, and mental well-being. Bertha is an active member of Beulah Missionary Baptist Church, where she partners with her pastor, Dr. John Ivey, in event coordination with Equasion. She also serves with the Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition Cincinnati. She established the “Inclusion Walk and Talk” in her neighborhood—an initiative that brought people together across political differences. Through every project, Bertha hopes to inspire others to become inclusion advocates and to live out the values of compassion, connection, and justice. Above all, she strives to ensure that her work reflects the principles of God’s word.

January 19, 2026 is the 51st annual MLK Day March and Program. Bertha is the Program Coordinator this year. The march starts at 10:30a in front of the Underground Freedom Center and concludes in Washington Park. The annual program is inside Music Hall and begins at 12:00p
