Blackness and aging in the workplace: hopes for the future

In celebration of Black History Month, please join us for an interactive discussion with Linda Dyer and Myrna Lashley.

This event will focus on the history and future of work, incorporating into the conversation community care and the contributions of the diaspora. Embracing the past, present and future we invite a reflection on positivity, change and actionable steps with a particular emphasis on community building, collective action and learning from others.

The goal of the Stories of Belonging series is to imagine how we might create safer, braver workplaces and gathering spaces for Black individuals.
