You Belong Here is proud to sponsor our space for
Elephant Talks
Tuesday, May 19th, 6:30-8 pm
Join Maharani Peace Hall for a seriously WOKE evening, for you, our community and neighbors!
Elephant Talks are about addressing the “elephant” in the room. We tackle important and sometimes difficult equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) topics that far too often are pushed aside due to people’s discomfort. In a safe yet brave setting, facilitators embark on a journey of reflection, understanding, growth, and positive change with participants. This is hard but necessary work. The conversations will be uncomfortable at points but with the willingness of all involved the hope is to come to new levels of understanding and compassion. We are all knowledge holders and through deep, meaningful, guided dialogue we can collectively start to change perspectives, hearts, and minds.
This Month’s Topic: Privilege
Whether we admit it or not, we all hold some type of privilege. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? How are we using it or abusing it? Join us to break down this divisive topic in hope of finding and utilizing new understandings.
