Beginning Your Journey
Everyone's DEI&B journey begins somewhere, so we start here as we create a space of learning and growth. This workshop focuses on foundational DEI&B concepts intertwined with history. It is a great workshop designed for those who are just starting their DEI&B journey.
Turning Inward
Conversations about DEI&B often focus outward on the social and political landscape of the world, such as on things that are happening in the world, politically and socially. However, an inward examination is just as important for deeper understanding. This workshop has participants exploring their unique intersectional identities that have shaped who they are along with their belief systems.
