Description:

Let’s Keep Talking!

ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race) starts the new year with a discussion on EQUITY. Many people use the terms equity and equality interchangeably, but these words have different meanings. This month's discussion will explore what it means to champion equity in our lives, and our families, in our workplaces, and our society. Can we even imagine a society where the goal moves from everyone being treated the same to one where people get what they need to thrive and fairly compete? To promote equity in our society we need to clearly understand it. 

Join our featured presenter Minal Bopaiah, in a discussion that will include key concepts from her book EQUITY: How to Design Organizations Where Everyone Thrives

WITH FEATURED GUEST: Minal Bopaiah

An author, speaker, & strategist, Bopaiah is committed to designing a more equitable world by tackling the challenge of embedding equity into workplace policies, practices and culture everywhere. With degrees in English, psychology, and organization development, Bopaiah has spent her career cross-pollinating ideas in service of greater social justice for all.  

Facilitated by Pamela Pinnock

A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) is a public discussion series. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, class and culture. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action!

On the last Sunday of each month there is a new topic for discussion
