Let’s Talk is a series of programs designed to encourage a conversation on race and other social inequities. We all have a story or a struggle worth honoring. By sharing our stories we’ll build a bridge to greater understanding, empathy, and kindness in our community.

There has been a significant increase in anti-Asian hate crimes. This trend is deeply troubling. In this program, you will hear some of the lived experiences in the AAPI community. Also to be discussed are the misconceptions that Asian individuals are at fault for the COVID-19 crisis. Representatives from the NYC Commission on Human Rights will introduce bystader intervention strategies that individuals can take against Asian hate.

Participants will have the opportunity to listen, reflect, learn, and engage in a meaningful way with others. If you’re ready to have an open conversation and want to get to know yourself and your community then join us on this journey.
