Rochester Young Professionals and RocCity Coalition have partnered to offer an Equity Series to help create a more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous Rochester by empowering the future leaders of our city.
Please join us for our next event in the series, a discussion on race and media and how it affects us today, facilitated by David Grome of Butler/Till Media and Communications.
**Event Description
The average American …spends more than 13 hours per day interacting with media.
What role does media play in shaping our opinions, attitudes, and conversations? Does the current state of our media help to unify or divide us? How might this translate to issues of race and identity?
Join alumni from the YWCA and its Person2Person program to experience words, images, and sounds that shaped The Intersection of Race & American Media in 2018. Group discussions will follow facilitated by David Grome of Butler/Till media and communications. There will be time for networking before and after the program and refreshments will be provided.
You can learn more about Person2Person and how you can participate in their upcoming summer session here:
