Listen, Learn, Act: The Impact of Microaggressions with Alex Terry and Dr. Vida Samuel

Join us for a timely conversation discussing microaggressions (“subtle acts of exclusion”) and its harmful effects with professional ballet dancer, Alexandra Terry. Alexandra shares about her upbringing - what it was like living in a predominantly white town, what inspired her to pursue becoming a ballerina and more! Special appearance by Dr. Vida Samuel, PhD., Women Studies Scholar, University of Connecticut Professor.

FOR PARENTS AND TEENS

Featured Panelists: Abnerline Macenat, rising high school senior; Kellie Taylor, rising college sophomore (NAACP at college); Tiara Starks, rising college junior (“My Privilege” speech at Juneteenth)

The "Listen, Learn, Act" Series has been constructed because in order to achieve racial justice, we must learn, unlearn and listen to, then amplify, the voices of color and experience. We must stand together, help each other, love one another and, most importantly, take action.
