SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
9:00 a.m. - A No-Fault Conversation about Race: How we got here isn’t necessarily where we need to go
Nita Mosby Tyler
Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity have become words that can either inspire understanding or ignite discourse. At the core of all of these discussions is race. This sometimes-uncomfortable topic can cause each of us to retreat or advance in our understanding of one another. During this interactive, fireside-chat-style session, Nita will explore the advantage of understanding race to further develop our leadership expert power, steps to lead authentic and gracious conversations about race, and how-to’s to promote a culture of inclusion using the lens of race as a guide. Participants will practice using several tools and learning circle opportunities for creating race/cultural responsiveness in their personal and professional lives.
Dr. Nita Mosby Tyler is the Chief Catalyst for The Equity Project.
