Dialogues for Diversity: A Conversation with NYT's Bestselling Author Heather McGhee
Online via Zoom
5-6:30 p.m.
Join us for an exciting conversation with Heather McGhee, speaker, advocate and New York Times bestselling author of The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together. In this discussion we will explore our barriers to human commonality and the benefits that we gain as a community and country when we come together in unity to accomplish things that we cannot do on our own, a concept McGhee has coined as the “solidarity dividend.” There will be time for audience Q&A.
Before joining this session, we encourage you to read her book, check out her TedTalk or subscribe to the new Sum of Us Podcast series, which began in July 2022.
