The Equity Edition

Dec 17th (3rd Saturday): Strengthfinders

Most people have a hard time identifying a life's purpose because they haven’t been able to identify a strength. Or one that surpasses the rest. How can we explore a way to help identify strengths in individuals that can be strengthened and developed to superpower status. We will discuss the concept of the Twice Exceptional (2e) and the Theory of Multiple Intelligences during this session.

Feature Presentation: Kellyann Few, Engineer and Sustainability Designer

Panel:

Jess Corinne, Head of Services, Learnfully and Education Executive

Nomita Advani, Clinical Licensed Art Therapist & Visual Arts Educator

Nicole Fall, Artist-Educator

What is DEI+N Talks all about:

A virtual, monthly event that happens every 4th Saturday at 11am running until about 12:30p.

There is a concept that we are all neurodiverse. Whether or not you agree, you might have encountered enough products, formats and instructions created and influenced by the neurodiverse, that you understand the importance of embracing and adopting a bilingual approach to their sensitivities and our shared world. This series of talks is crafted to service the selves, teachers, parents, coworkers, friends and fellow humans of the neurodiverse. Maybe society is making us neurodiverse, highlighting our differences, persisting our neurovariations and commoditizing our quirks. Products that calm us, organize us and "satisfy" our cravings aim to support and at times benefit from our identification of our neurodiversities. How can we have a conversation about our lives in a safe, shared space that supports how we are different, and alike, all at once?

Join us for a series of conversations around support for our Neurodiverse selves.

Register today for a complementary ticket. Runtime: Approx. 1 hour
