    Cinder Connect Conversations

    Online (Zoom)

    An honest panel discussion centering the identities and experiences of our friends and colleagues across the Latinx & Hispanic culture.

    Hosted by Cinder, we will continue to examine what equity and inclusion means for different and intersecting identities in these panel discussions throughout 2022.

    Our intention with these conversations is to interrogate the integrity and efficacy of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion programming in our workplaces and communities.

    We are curious to explore the question: Is Equity and Inclusion in the workplace and beyond?

    Please help us spread the word!

    Registration through: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZArcOmgpzgvHtFN0p8wzmk0eae_jeJ57r32 - After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

    At our April Native Americans in Tech mixer, we’re creating a decolonized space for Indigenous folks who work in tech or would like to. In the spirit of storytelling, we would like to encourage the community to share some 3 minute talks on recent projects, life events or challenges. This will be an informal, virtual meetup for attendees to nurture existing relationships and build new ones.

    This community will center the experiences of Indigenous people of North America. While this group is for folks that have a grounding in their Native American identities, we understand that Indigenous folks exist from all points of the globe and welcome you as well. We recognize the varied experiences of indigeneity for those who have had barriers in reclaiming their culture.

    This event will be facilitated by Erin Grace (Chetco, Tututni).

    This ongoing series is supported by Tech Town powered by Prosper Portland.

    We will have ASL interpretation and live closed captioning throughout.

    Hope to see you there!
