When: Thursday, March 3rd, 2022, 9:00am-10:30am

Beth Cox Hollingsworth, content and strategy director, and Jen Gilbert, senior copywriter, will discuss:
- The difference between performative and authentic allyship
- Tips for authentic allyship
- Inclusive language
- The power of storytelling
Join us for an open conversation as we all learn and grow together in this important work!
