Rosalind Wiseman and Shanterra McBride will present the keynote address and speak with small groups on topics related to their book, Courageous Discomfort: How to Have Important, Brave, Life-Changing Conversations about Race and Racism. How can we have honest conversations about topics that silence most of us or in which only a few people dominate? How do we create and sustain an inclusive community where people feel a sense of belonging? How do we know when to advocate for each other or receive feedback when our intentions don't match our impact? We live in a time where it can feel too hard, too frightening for some of us to step into these moments and make a difference.
