Eight bold and audacious women of color will share their individual stories of injustice and inequity as they often struggle to simply do their jobs as fundraisers. Contributing to the dialogue are the amazing Canadian woman whose personal experiences are behind AFP’s newly launched website “The Right to Heal.” Bring your tissues and notebooks. These women will share truth and wisdom based on their perseverance in the face of racism.  

In partnership with:
