Black and Brown Trans Lives Matter in Business
Monday, July 20th | 4PM - 6PM
 
On Monday, July 20th from 4PM - 6PM, TransWork is hosting an online panel on the experiences of Black and brown transgender/gender non-conforming (TGNC) folks within the business community. This panel will explore the challenges and successes that TGNC Black and brown folks have seen as they work to start or run their own businesses, gain or keep employment, and contend with discrimination and bias in the workplace and among employers. Join us for a critical conversation with voices that are too often marginalized both within the LGB community and our broader society.
