I attended all 3 sessions in the Self to Systems series and found them immensely generous, expansive, and loving.
The diverse speakers and their experiences were a breath of fresh of air.
Incredible expertise and really great points made. The sessions felt like work friends being able to be honest with each other and have really deep discussions.
I liked that speakers / leaders were people of color with authentic experiences. Consequently, I didn't feel like the conversation was catered to a white audience. We were able to have a more in-depth, real discussion that didn't cater to whiteness.
