Girls With Impact Hosts Live Conversation on Race, Diversity

girls-with-impact-race-webinar

What is racism, why does it exist, and how we can take action for our collective success?

Girls With Impact will host a national conversation on July 2nd for GenZ girls (ages 11-24) on race and diversity – “When Black, Brown and White Meet,” on Thursday, July 2, 5pm EST – 6pm EST (2-3pm PST)

Even prior to the George Floyd crisis, race and equality have been top of mind for GenZ, those born in the mid-1990s and just now entering the workforce.

“Just because you’re my friend doesn’t mean you’re not racist,” says student Kayli Cooper, 15, a Girls With Impact graduate.

According to Girls With Impact’s report,  60% of GenZ men and women want to personally drive social change.  Students have developed ventures ranging from an LGBTQ community to a soon-to-launch book platform – Mirror Me Diversity — by Kristen St. Louis, 15, from the Bronx.

Special moderator: Petal Modeste, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Columbia Law School and host of the podcast, Parenting for the Future

Featuring: Kristen St. Louis, 15, founder of Mirror Me Diversity and Kayli Cooper, 15, who talks about privilege and race

Agenda:   

·      What is racism? Why does it exist?

·      What are the top issues on the minds of GenZ in the wake of the #BLM movement? A conversation.

·      How can girls drive change?

·      Hear from GenZ Girls: Kristen, 15, shares her venture, MirrorMe Diversity
