Race, Gender & Inclusiveness in the Workplace:
A panel viewing and discussion with LeRon Barton
LeRon Barton was recently a part of an import panel discussion on The Road to Allyship. Topics included, how to approach difficult conversations and embrace being uncomfortable when discussing race and racial inequalities.
LeRon was a guest speaker last year for the Los Altos Chamber, and we've invited him back to host a special viewing of this panel and to help facilitate a discussion.
LeRon will be condensing the 1 hour panel into a 30 minute segment for us to watch and discuss. You can also view the whole video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixpGqKykFF0&t=497s
