Session seating is first come, first served. Thank you for your cooperation.
We leverage the neuroscience of storytelling to stimulate empathy and courageous conversations to underline inclusive behavior. In this session, we will be calling attention to our capability of contributing to diversity, inclusion, and well-being within our communities through allyship and action. The session is led by the award-winning founder of StoryBolt, Dr. Nassim Abdi, a storyteller and evangelist dedicated to finding the intersection of entertainment and learning in the area of DEI. She has 12 years of academic experience researching identity and intersectionality as they relate to systems of discrimination or disadvantage. Nassim will kick off the session with an engagement activity, and then we will watch a brief documentary, Woman in Motion, about Star Trek's Nichelle Nichols, the woman who changed NASA.
