Affinity
How do we design for the power of shared identity?
Field Trip: April 1st, 2021 10-11:30 PT
As we work to claim and grow confident in our own identity, there is unique power in having space with those who have walked a similar road or share a common background. This is true across so many lines of sameness — race, gender, sexuality, passion.
How do we leverage affinity to fuel personal growth? And how do we ensure this fuels inclusivity and equity more broadly?
Access to this month’s experiences start at $10.
