Join us for an inspiring evening with Graci Harkema, international speaker and author of RISING: From a Mud Hut to the Boardroom – and Back Again. Inspired by As We Rise: Photography from the Black Atlantic, this powerful conversation invites our community to reflect on resilience, authenticity, and the courage to belong.
From being born in a mud hut in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during civil unrest, to rising as a global voice for inclusive leadership and belonging, Graci’s journey is one of extraordinary survival, identity, and purpose.
