Our discussion circles are designed to explore the concept of intersectionality which highlights the overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. 

But our conversations don’t stop at understanding – they extend to action. We’ll delve into what it means to be an ally and how we can all contribute to a more inclusive and equitable world. Through shared stories, thoughtful dialogue, and a commitment to learning, we’ll discover the many ways we can support each other across different facets of identity.

Whether you’re well-versed in the topics of intersectionality and allyship or just beginning to explore these concepts, our discussion circles offer a welcoming space for all to learn, reflect, and grow. Together, we can foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of Black history and identity and build a foundation for lasting solidarity and change.

Join us in this enlightening journey. Let’s celebrate Black History Month by connecting, understanding, and taking steps towards a more inclusive future for everyone.

 

Everyone is welcome to attend and participate. Refreshments will be served.
