About the Workshop
How can parents be active in expanding their children’s access to diverse role models, in media, literature, education, healthcare, and more? Kenya reveals the tangible results of how diversity is changing the way kids see themselves, others, and the way the world can be.
Bring a cup of coffee or glass of wine and be ready to turn your camera and mic on, if you like, to discuss with other working parents. Kids and distractions welcome.
