Guest Speaker
Gretchen Cook-Anderson
Becoming an Inclusivist:
A Women’s Conversation in Black & White
Inclusivists believe there’s inherent value in inclusion for everyone, and actively and intentionally foster a sense of community across all areas of society, that welcomes, includes and is responsive to people of all backgrounds.
But, what does it take for any of us – but particularly for black women and white women (and others across difference), together in sisterhood – to move the needle in forging a more inclusivist political system and culture?
Needham resident Gretchen Cook-Anderson is a wife, mother of three, and a marketing executive with 25+ years of promoting space discoveries for NASA, Mars candy, entertainers in Hollywood, candidates for political office, study abroad, and a host of household products. She is active as a board member for several local community-based organizations and independent schools, and cares deeply about social justice and equity.
