Throughout Máxima’s fight for justice, the film provides an illustrative case study in the tactics used by transnational corporations to commit human rights violations and environmental crimes, the role played by non-profits and The World Bank, and, ultimately, the resilience of one woman who refuses to back down.BECOMING RUBYDave Mayers/2020/18 min/Health, People &amp; Cultures, Social JusticeFILM DESCRIPTION: Not seeing herself reflected in the community she loves, mountain biker, skier and artist Brooklyn Bell created her own role model: a hand-drawn hero called Ruby J. With Ruby J as a guide, Brooklyn spent the next few years trying to “live like her, breathe like her, be unapologetically black like her,” and in the process shaped her own identity, one that intertwines her love for dirt, snow and art—and a voice with which to advocate for diversity and inclusion.After the screening, stay connected to discuss the film with:Facilitator Reesheda Graham Washington, Principal, RGW Consulting; Chief Experience Officer, Live Cafe &amp; Creative SpacePanelists:<ul><li> Coach Robin Renee, GirlTrek Outdoor Trip Leader</li><li> Claudia Sparrow, Director, &quot;Maxima&quot;</li><li> Olga Bautista, President, Southeast Environmental Task Force</li><li> Yolanda Cortes, Pastoral Bíblica Claretiana de los Estados Unidos y Canadá</li></ul>
