Power to Change Conversations: Jamia Wilson & Felicia Davis
Join us for our inaugural event in the Power To Change Conversations, a series of interviews with notable women that focus on solutions to gender equality and racism issues. Activist, Author, and Feminist Press Publisher Jamia Wilson is our first guest.
Take The Lead is excited to announce the launch of Power to Change Conversations, a webinar series devoted to offering substantive solutions to racism and gender equality issues. The series will kick off on Women’s Equality Day on August 26th. The first event is hosted by Felicia Davis, a Take The Lead leadership ambassador and the founder of The Black Women’s Collective, the series premiere guest is Jamia Wilson, the executive director and publisher of the Feminist Press at the City University of New York.
The fee for the webinar is $50 for those who are employed and $25 for those who have been laid off or furloughed.
Power to Change Conversations will assist Take The Lead to provide scholarships for women who want to participate in our programs. While we have significantly lowered costs as a result of Covid-19, there are still those who can’t afford the very training and coaching that can help them prepare for their next career moves. We are committed to make our offerings available for as many women as possible, especially to women who are bearing the brunt of the pandemic professionally. The series will help us, in part, to achieve that goal, and premiering on Women’s Equality Day is perfect timing.
Each segment of the Zoom-based series will run for 35 minutes, which will include ten minutes reserved for audience questions.
Upcoming guests include Jennifer Brown, Joi Gordon and Ginny Brzezinski.
