Feedback Survey

This session welcomes attendees who identify as Black, Indigenous, and or People of Color (BIPOC) to learn from a panel of diverse professionals as they share how their identities influence their pathways in life. Attendees and panelist will explore what it takes to actualize authenticity, wellness, and resiliency in their lives and careers. This interactive session offers an opportunity to connect, build community, and share experiences and perspectives in a way that honors our unique journeys.

While we deeply appreciate all allies and those who support BIPOC communities, this space is intended exclusively for those who identify as BIPOC (non-White). Our aim is to provide a space where participants can feel completely safe and understood based on shared cultural experiences. We encourage our non-BIPOC friends and supporters to explore other ways of showing solidarity and allyship, and we’re happy to suggest spaces where those conversations can happen. Thank you for understanding and for your continued support. Together, we will work towards innovating supportive spaces.
