Dara Kosberg -Sr. Program Director of Reimagine
I think the way that the program is designed, it creates a compassionate gateway into this work. I loved every minute of it and have found the learnings invaluable in my personal and professional life.
We've already applied a lot of the learnings to our work—creating forums to listen to our community and better understand their needs/wants, created a JEDI pledge for our collaborators and attendees, offered a "Creating Inclusive Spaces" training for our collaborators, started the Table Talk event series by and for underrepresented communities.
We're now providing marketing grants for our BIPOC collaborators, and ~60% of our speakers at our Reimagine produced events are from underrepresented communities. I'm now taking the 3 month racial justice course/support group with HU to deepen my work.
The HU team has been incredibly supportive and responsive—truly a joy
