Join Mary-Frances Winters, Founder and CEO of The Winters Group, Inc., in this special Day 2 fireside chat with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, acclaimed historian and author of How to Be an Antiracist. In this discussion, Dr. Kendi will explore how to shift the conversation from “how not to be racist” to “how to be an antiracist,” sharing his own internalized racist ideas and how he overcame them. Drawing on historical narratives and insights, Dr. Kendi will illuminate the interconnectedness of past injustices with present-day disparities, and why a successful DEI strategy demands a deep understanding of the historical roots of inequity and injustice and the structures that perpetuate it. He will also share practical strategies and tools for incorporating historical analysis into DEI initiatives, empowering organizations to develop more holistic and effective approaches to fostering equity and inclusion.
