Join SimplyLeadLLC to unlearn the roots of systemic racism and strive for collective liberation. We will unpack how communities of color have been insulated from and dehumanized by each other through systems that prioritize whiteness above all. Come together to move towards freedom and re-empower the Black and Latinx members of your community.
