The world we live in operates under a series of false narratives perpetuated by systems grounded in racism. These false narratives promote messages that suggest a person is successful and worthy when they meet specific criteria or achieve a milestone in pursuing the American Dream. Yet our narratives should tell an authentic story of who we are and how we experience the world. But what happens when those narratives are distorted or, even worse, the narratives are deceptive?

The Centering Equity Conference will influence thinking and engage participants in individual and collective action for social change. To ‘center equity’ means to focus on and create a point of action whereby fairness and justice are explicitly implemented in your personal and professional life and within your organizational structure.
