Unfinished: Actualizing an Intersectional Anti-Racist Future (2021)
““Well done! The conference was a HUGE success. It captured and captivated conversations, so many of us were craving and wanting to have. All the courageous conversations led to what we can do at an individual level, action and impact-oriented.””
“...somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished”
Amanda Gorman, National Youth Poet Laureate
How can we seize this moment of national reckoning to turn our collective vision into an equitable and just world for all people? What must change in order for us to achieve inclusion?
Join us as we move from reimagining to actualizing the future of our wildest dreams. This conference will build on the momentum of our November event titled, Reimagining the Future: What does an equitable and intersectional anti-racist world look like? We will continue to center race and equity as we facilitate conversations at the intersection of business, policy, technology, education, public health and more.
Diverse perspectives will wrangle with complex issues that have been noted as most relevant by our community. Important questions such as “is housing a right?”, “how might we build thriving economies that do not extract from people and planet”, “what must change to achieve true equity and inclusion” will be discussed, and visualized. In addition to learning, you will leave with actionable next steps to help build capacity and revitalize as a community. You will also be inspired by purpose-driven entrepreneurs and organizations that are changing lives and narratives.
This virtual event will convene a glocal ecosystem—students, community leaders, small business owners, policymakers, established and aspiring social entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders for two days of panels, discussions, fireside chats, networking, expo exhibits, and more.
When we meet each other, exchange ideas, debate, and share stories, we have the power to vision and actualize new realities.
