Philadelphia Virtual Coffee, Conversations and Connections: PRIDE and intersectionality

If your PRIDE isn’t intersectional, it’s not PRIDE. Join us as we honor PRIDE month and discuss why it’s time to examine intersectionality across sexual and racial identities simultaneously.

This event is a collaboration between Ellevate's Philadelphia, Long Island, Northern NJ, and Fairfield/Westchester Chapters, and our conversation will be led by special guest Evan Thornberg, Health Equity Special Advisor, Division of HIV Health at the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. 

Get ready for a thought-provoking discussion as we dive deep into reframing the approach to justice beyond a singular identity issue. The fact is that identities are complex and composed of several facets, and there can be no hierarchy within these movements to determine which lives are more valuable. The bottom line is if not all of us, then none of us when it comes to liberation.

Ellevate was founded on the value of inclusivity, and this event is one more way to engage and connect with our community. 

NOTE: This event runs 8-9:30 to allow time for deeper discussion.
