We are once again pleased to partner with several other independent schools in the Greater Seattle area to offer the Equity and Inclusion Virtual Speaker Series, designed to provide our communities an opportunity to connect, learn, and engage in topics around equity, inclusion, and antiracist education and action. The series will include five nationally-known speakers.

Next SPEAKER IN THE SERIES:

Thursday, March 9, 2023 | 6:00-7:15 p.m.
Disability, Race & Identity

LeDerick Horne, poet, activist, author, Black, and neurodiverse. While these are just some of his identities, LeDerick had to navigate being labeled and separated from the classroom, and placed in special education classes. Join us as LeDerick talks about disability and race, power, and self-advocacy.
