Intersectionality & Intentionality in 2020
September 4, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
There are no lessons that could have prepared you for 2020, there are only lessons in 2020 that can prepare you for the rest of your life. This session will be about reflecting on this year, our lives, and the intersectionality and intentionality with which we live.
