90-Minute Development Program Session Description:
By taking simple measures to reinforce and reimagine culture that will be Bold (present), Ready (emotionally aware), Accessible (active listening & understanding for all), Vulnerable (valuing one’s identity and story) and reaching our ultimate goal of Equity (inclusive spaces of belonging) is the most needed empowerment for our time. With interactive and tangible takeaways, we will establish humanized methods of inclusivity. Because diversity is already present, visible diversity can be unsiloed, spaces are moldable, cultures are imitated and one changed perspective is the catalyst towards equity.
