I am so happy that I attended the Furure of DEI Summit! I couldn't catch each live session, but your format which gave quick access to the replays made it feel as if I was still an active participant in the event. Kudos for that! The speakers were amazing, and had so much insight and knowledge to share. I am still making my way through the replays, but had to stop and say, Thank You! What a geat way to spend my week. Peace and blessings to you, Sister!

And just like that, Day 1 of Dear White Men is a wrap! An ENORMOUS thank you to @Abi Adamson and @Joe Cardillo for being part of the "icebreaker" conversation of the weekend. You can follow, connect and engage them here: Abi Adamson (she/her) Founder and Director: The Culture Partnership https://www.linkedin.com/in/abiadamson TheCulturePartnership.com Joe Cardillo (they/them) Founder & CEO, The Early Manager https://www.linkedin.com/in/joecardillo TheEarlyManager.com I'll be extracting sections of the conversations for discussion in the group over the coming weeks! For now, here are a few highlights: ➡️ What does it look like to solicit buy-in to allyship from someone that will never benefit from it? How do you explain "moving the goal post" to someone that does not typical experience this type of barrier that is extremely common for non-white men? ➡️ How we you encourage openness and vulnerability in white men by holding space for fears, anxieties and emotions without centering them in discussions about race, gender or other marginalized experiences they do NOT share? ➡️ As white men and white male-presenting individuals, what does it look like to combat misinformation and disinformation in real time? ➡️ How does aspirational accompliceship show up in "changed" white men? So many incredible insights that I will be pulling from the replay to use as prompts for deeper dialogue here. For those that attended, we asked: "What is your one-word takeaway from this session?" If you were in attendance, please share below. We'll be back tomorrow—same time, same place—for Dear White Men: For Intercultural Families.
