Creating New Tools for Racial Healing
Operation Conversation, All Stars Project’s (ASP) newest bridge-building initiative, has been created to address the social and racial divides in America. In virtual and in-person workshops, adults aged 21 and above from diverse communities learn and perform with new tools that develop empathy, appreciation, active listening and curiosity skills. Using the power of performance, these workshops engage racism and promote healing in everyday life.
Operation Conversation is led by Gabriele Kurlander (Founder of ASP’s Performance Lab) and Antoine Joyce-Roach (ASP Senior Vice President and ASP of Dallas City Leader).
ASP is currently working with Fortune 500 companies interested in integrating Operation Conversation as part of their diversity and inclusion efforts. Among those that have participated in workshops are First Presbyterian Church, Hunt Consolidated, a Big Four Accounting Firm and staff from the New York Jets.

“Everything changed the day I discovered the All Stars Project. At 17, I joined the Development School for Youth (DSY)—a free career development program connecting me to paid internships. It transformed my life!”
Chioma Igwebuike, ASP Alum, Associate- Investment Banking Division Compliance, Goldman Sachs; Board member, ASP of New Jersey
“All Stars pushed me to do uncomfortable things like going downtown in these large glass buildings and having conversations with people who didn't look like me. This gave me the ability to stand in spaces where I had been told that I could not or should not be.”
Cedric Soglohoun, ASP Alum, Machine Operator, Flex
“When I joined ASP, I experienced the power of performance. DSY taught me to perform bigger than I thought possible, and the All Stars Talent Show Network gave me the confidence to uplift other young people like me.”
Dwayne Dixon, ASP Alum, Program Director, ASP of Chicago
“Through All Stars, I learned to perform confidence and step into spaces I never thought I belonged in. That journey brought me to UC Santa Barbara and back to ASP, where I’m now helping youth build their futures.”
Larry Huynh, ASP Alum, Program Associate at ASP of SF Bay Area and Virtual Programs
“I joined DSY during my sophomore year of college, connecting with inspiring leaders and earning my first internship at AIG. Today, I’m proud to work at ASP and give back to the program that launched my career.”
Emily Munguia, ASP Alum, Assistant Director of Development at ASP of New York
“All Stars has given me hope, opportunity, confidence and long-lasting relationships that I still carry with me today. My first DSY internship opened new doors for me professionally and has shaped my trajectory 15 years later. My aspiration through the work of the ALC (Alumni Leadership Council) is to bring the gift of development to as many young people as possible.”
Avriel Kelly, ASP Alum, AVP, Business Support Manager, Bank of America
