In this three-part series, we will build a dynamic dialogue around ways to foster equitable, inclusive, and respectful cross-cultural collaboration within our community. Following the theme Building Bridges, we seek to deepen our understanding of the structural racism that affects us all, to lessen the division, and begin to flourish in the strength of our diversity.
