Rosetta Lee, diversity speaker, trainer and educator
Wednesday, April 25
7:00-8:30pm (MP1)
This event will be recorded
How do we learn about our various group identities like female, African-American, Buddhist, homosexual, middle class, etc.? From whom do we learn the meaning of these terms?
What messages have we internalized about ourselves and others? What are the differences that result in one person having a healthy self identity and another person experiencing own-group shame and hatred?
Learn how we can 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.
Since 2004, Rosetta has been a diversity speaker and trainer on a variety of issues, including cross cultural communication, identity development, prejudice reduction and coalition building, gender and sexuality diversity, facilitation skills, bullying in schools, and gender bias in the classroom.
