Check My Bias, Open My Compassion
Thank you so much. This session opened my eyes while causing me to check my bias to open my compassion.
Empowering Speaker
[The speaker] was empowering and gave me the information I needed to share with the community.
Different Backgrounds, Different Walks of Life
I’m glad that I attended this event because it was a lot of fun and great to meet different people from different backgrounds and walks of life.
Developing leaders
The goal for us is grassroots organizing and really developing leaders to have a seat at the table to address and eliminate these barriers.
Collaboration is a powerful tool
Don’t give up the fight, don’t give up the networking, don’t give up the determination to try to come up with something creative and innovative. Don’t feel like you have to be the only one to create something. Collaboration is a powerful tool.
Transition Support
What brings us back to today? To learn and teach, to listen and tell, to recommit to the essential work of supporting people living with and made vulnerable to HIV as they transition from incarceration to community.
