Civil rights scholar john a. powell reminds us that “none of us has a primary identity.” This session introduces intersectionality—the idea that aspects of identity (such as race\, gender\, class\, ability\, etc.) overlap to shape our experiences of power. By understanding these connections\, we move toward a leadership rooted in bridging rather than breaking\, and in building deliberate common cause. \nLight breakfast will be provided. \n \n \n \n \n \n REGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n DATE: March 6\nTIME: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT\nVENUE: ALF Silicon Valley\, 1400 Parkmoor Ave\, Suite 280\, San Jose\, CA 95126 URL:https://www.alfsv.org/event/power-of-we-030626/ LOCATION:ALF Silicon Valley Main Office\, 1400 Parkmoor Ave.\, Suite 280\, San Jose\, CA\, 95126\, United States CATEGORIES:ALF Affinity Group,Race & Equity END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260313 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260314 DTSTAMP:20260501T053216 CREATED:20250519T174142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250519T174142Z UID:56062-1773360000-1773446399@www.alfsv.org SUMMARY:Fellows Class XLV Session: Creating New Rhythms Together DESCRIPTION:For reference only.
