Full transparency: I work for this organization, but I am not getting paid to promote this, nor do I make any money if you choose to attend. Here is why I feel compelled to promote this particular event:
🔹This event genuinely centers BIPOC educators' and leaders' lives, experience, and wisdom.
🔹 Four incredible women of Color who have committed their careers to social justice - Sung Kim, Amrita Kauldher, Tiffanie Rivera-Di Lucio, and Linh Nguyen - have been working tirelessly to put this event together for the past year (and deserve to be acknowledged and praised for their efforts).
🔹 The Convening includes a line-up of amazing speakers and panelists, including BIPOC students, formerly incarcerated folks, cutting-edge researchers, veteran educators and administrators, coaches, policy makers, and spiritual practitioners.
🔹 The keynote speaker alone, Ruha Benjamin, is worth the cost of admission.
🔹This event is NOT a money-making endeavor. As of now, the nonprofit organization that is hosting this event, Technology Access Foundation, is actually losing money on The Convening.
This conference is truly for the benefit of those in attendance. If you can't make it, please consider making a donation to provide a scholarship for an early-career BIPOC educator to attend for free. https://lnkd.in/gcsV5fvy
➡️ For those who would like to attend but are limited by finances, please message me and I will provide a discount code.
- Fri. & Sat. (Feb. 23-24th) at the University of Washington
