Legacy, Identity, and the Complexity of Passing:
A Guided Conversation
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation exploring the legacy, complexity, and personal impact of racial passing in the United States. Using a powerful short video by Dr. Joy DeGruy as our starting point, we’ll reflect on how race, privilege, and identity have shaped—and continue to shape—the lives of Black Americans.
This space is designed for reflection, connection, and dialogue. Together, we’ll examine how the historical realities of passing intersect with our personal experiences and workplace culture today. Whether you’re looking to share, listen, or simply better understand, your voice is welcome.
Come with curiosity. Leave with perspective.
