Event Details

IN-PERSON PROGRAM

How does empathy shape the way we interact with each other? How does it contribute to efforts to promote racial equity? Join us for a conversation about empathy and its role in community-building. Facilitated by Aqua Drakes and Katie Burton from Drakes & Burton Consulting, this discussion-based program will create opportunities for participants to have meaningful dialogue about how empathy does and should show up as we navigate contemporary social issues. Participants will also brainstorm ways to cultivate and integrate empathy into their daily lives. 

Drakes and Burton Consulting offers history-based courses and conversational workshops about race and equity, focusing on systemic and interpersonal bias. They provide actionable strategies with real-world, anti-racist applications, and cultivate opportunities for individuals and groups to learn, reflect, and imagine new possibilities.

Registration required.

The death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 reignited protests and discussion around police brutality, white supremacy, and systemic racism. Join us for this ongoing series of open and empathetic conversations about race, community, and opportunities for change and healing. All are welcome.
