Join the City's Equity and Human Rights office for a complimentary in-person workshop facilitated by Diversity, Equity & Inclusion consultant, facilitator, and author Tommy Ross from 1-3 p.m. on Thursday, April 20. The event will take place at the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area Park Lodge, 579 McCollister Blvd.

Ross engages participants in a compelling, clear, and concise conversation, that delves into the power and potential of repurposing privilege. Ross brings the intriguing concept of privilege to life in an interactive and informative way.

Participants will explore a practical framework for understanding privilege, while digging into the overt and covert implications and effects. Ross introduces two of his groundbreaking tools: Cultural Compass and Racial Resiliencies. Participants journey through the possibilities of leveraging these dynamic tools in all of the various spaces that they occupy.

Ross invites each participant to approach and enter this transformative conversation in a spirit of humility and curiosity.
