EVENT DETAILS Coming to Austin for SXSW or already live there? Committed to the advancement of all women in the workplace & beyond? Interested in communing with other like-minded women to educate & empower ourselves to strengthen our alliances & further our shared goals? If so, we would love for you to join us for an unofficial SXSW event on March 12th: Inclusive Conversations, an awareness-elevating evening focused on women femmes GNC folks & our allies of all ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, & classes learning from each other & enhancement of both individual & collective power. The goal of Inclusive Conversations is to come to a shared understanding of racism & how it divides womxn & harms us all. We'll analyze how we've gotten here, & offer tools on how to improve how we relate to one another going forward. We will briefly discuss the history of feminism through the lens of intersectionality to create shared understanding. Inclusive Conversations are a healing space for an honest & open conversation. We will set community norms & adhere to them. This event is less about learning from experts & more about learning from each other. As Audre Lorde taught us, we need to teach ourselves patterns of relating across difference as equals since we have no patterns to follow. Come prepared to be honest, to be open, & to make new friends. We're serving Hallal appetizers, wine & cheese & there's ample free parking.
