Laura Huerta Migus / Drinking About Diversity or Equity Happy Hour
Dialogue about issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion are all around us. However, these conversations are often happening as philosophical debates that don't offer easy ways to understand how to embrace inclusion in your personal and/or professional life. In this session, we'll bridge the personal and philosophical in the way many of us do this with our friends - over drinks! Real questions from the community will be addressed, and real advice and tools will be offered.
