Program Overview
This innovative 8-week program will include 1.5-hour weekly meetings and mentoring sessions focusing on unpacking questions such as: What is intersectionality; What is power, privilege, and oppression; How does it impact me personally and professionally; How can I form authentic relationships with my colleagues and consumers while preserving the values of my diverse identity?
