LANSING, Mich. — LCC is set to hold its second in the series of Courageous Conversations 3-5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29.
This virtual event will be led by LCC’s Chief Diversity Officer, Dr. Tonya Bailey and will feature special guests, LCC Trustees Andrew Abood, Angela Mathews and Samantha Vaive. The conversation will focus on race, perception and implicit bias.
Participants will interact in conversations, conduct self-reflections, engage in active listening and join in group learning to discuss often difficult topics. The Courageous Conversations series aims to make deliberate strides toward providing a “brave space” to discuss race, equity and inclusion.
LCC’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved a historic resolution addressing racial injustice through equity and inclusion last June.
“Given the unprecedented moment we face as a country this year’s launch of a campus-wide courageous conversations series on race brings diverse members of our community together for honest dialogue about race,” said Dr. Tonya Bailey. “We can all play an important role in dismantling racism to create a more inclusive, just and safe community college. By committing to understanding and talking about race all of our lives will be better and LCC will be the beneficiary of our progress.”
Dr. Bailey was named to the Michigan Coronavirus Task Force on Racial Disparities by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer earlier this year.
