The Greater Burlington Women’s Forum is excited to present a virtual lunchtime event in partnership with Change the Story, Vermont Works for Women and Genclusive! Through a facilitated conversation we will explore what it looks like to go from deer in the headlights to ready to respond when addressing sexist microaggressions.

We’ll be diving into questions like:

• What are microaggressions and what ripple effects do they have?
• How can we feel better about addressing microaggressions as individuals and in groups?

Al Johnson-Kurts, Communications Director of Change the Story

Jessica Nordhaus, Director of Change the Story and Co-founder of Genclusive

Missy Mackin, Program Manager at Vermont Works for Women
