From deer in the headlights to ready to respond
The Greater Burlington Women’s Forum is excited to present a virtual lunchtime event in partnership with Change the Story, Vermont Works for Women and Genclusive!

What are microaggressions and what ripple effects do they have?
-
How can we feel better about addressing microaggressions as individuals and in groups?
