Unpacking Hidden Bias and Privilege

In this session, we break down hidden bias and privilege to understand how to close the opportunity gap for ourselves and others. Through exercises and discussion, we will identify our own biases and privileges. Together, we will identify ways to be more mindful of our privileges, use them for the benefit of others, and extend them across our organizations.
