About the Open Conversations virtual events: Each month, Justice David and Angka address hard-to-discuss topics with community members. Guests will share experiences, perspectives, journeys, and challenges as they navigate society where racism has touched their lives and what we can all do to make positive changes in our world. Through Zoom, you are invited to listen to the conversation and engage with others through the chat function, then pose questions for Justice David and Angka to ask the guest(s). While some insights from the guests will be shared after the program, the conversations are closed to only those who have registered, and they will not be recorded. This allows guests and attendees to be open and vulnerable.
Who might enjoy this
This program is for legal professionals seeking to listen, understand, and broaden their perspectives. This is your opportunity to learn about those hard-to-discuss topics related to race and culture, and ask questions in a safe learning environment. Legal professionals who have not had the opportunity to be exposed to cultures of color will particularly benefit from this program. Reviews from past participants “Karrah's thoughts about how to better communicate without people feeling attacked were very helpful.”
“I have attended many different CLE's and presentations about diversity. This session gave me more tools to have real conversations than any other I have attended. This was truly outstanding.”
“The speakers all had different backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas; I think most people would be able to identify with at least one of them and, hopefully, be able to use that to make positive change.”
“Interesting discussion on unconscious biases and how they affect a person's natural responses to different situations and how to be mindful of the same.”
“One of the best discussions in which I have participated. The practical tips were huge as were the philosophical basis of these tips.”
