Ask The Experts
Presented by LEAD San Diego in partnership with JONES
Last week we heard from Steven Jones and Starla Lewis, two leaders and teachers who helped us process this moment in our country and how we can take action. Dr. Jones and Professor Lewis will be back on Wednesday to answer your questions on racism in America in a special “Ask the Experts” session, driven solely by audience questions.
Whether you don’t fully understand the dimensions of what is happening and don’t know what to say or do, or you want guidance on how to discuss your experience with friends and colleagues, this session is for you. All questions are welcome in this conversation.
