Parent/Guardian DEI Cafe with Rosetta Lee: Parenting with Identity in Mind

April 9, 2024
7-8:30 p.m. PST
Virtual Event via Zoom

Save the date for our next parent/guardian DEI Cafe on April 9, 7–8:30 p.m. with renowned independent school leader Rosetta Lee. How do we learn about our various group identities like female, African American, Buddhist, gay, middle class, etc.? Why do some people develop proud and healthy self identity and others experience own-group shame and hatred? Learn how we can, in age appropriate ways, instill positive self identity in our children and coach them to be positive influences on others' identities. Together, we can co-create inclusive communities that work toward success for all. Please sign up below to secure your spot and receive a zoom link prior to the virtual event.
