Dr. Lisa Gunderson: Building Belonging: Addressing Racism and Discrimination with Courage and Respect

June 5, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Free

Have you ever witnessed racism and hesitated to speak up, unsure how to respond? Or made a misstep and wished you knew how to make it right? In this free, interactive event, we’ll explore how to address racism and discrimination with courage, compassion, and humility—especially in predominantly white communities navigating DEI backlash. We’ll reflect on how to align our intentions with our impact, how to listen deeply, and how to build a culture of belonging where everyone feels safer and more valued.

The evening will begin with a brief presentation, followed by an open forum for questions and community participation. Bring your curiosity, your concerns, and your commitment to justice—no question is too small when it comes to building a more inclusive world.
