Guest speaker Cindi Love on intersectionality
Monday, June 24, 10:30-11:30 a.m. MT
The Sandia Pride Alliance Network welcomes Cindi Love for a talk on intersectionality as an intentional practice. Cindi says that no matter how or when someone becomes involved with equity work, it is always possible to integrate intersectionality more fully into their view of these issues. Love is an American human rights advocate, organizational consultant, corporate executive, educator, entrepreneur, author, public speaker and activist. Since 2018, she has served as the executive director of Out for Undergrad, a not-for-profit organization that helps high achieving and otherwise diverse LGBTQ2+ undergraduates and early-career professionals achieve their full potential. Location information and a Teams link are available on the Sandia Pride Alliance Network website.
