The SMF DEI Alliance is proud to host "Affirming the Humanity in All of Us: Showing Up in a Real Way," a keynote address that serves as part 1 of its two-part leadership training series, "Showing Up for All in Stow-Munroe Falls".
In the address, our speaker, Kenyona "Sunny" Park, who is a motivational speaker focusing on issues of diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism, will challenge participants to embrace our shared humanity by leading with authenticity, empathy, and courage. Through storytelling, reflection, and practical insight, participants will explore how showing up for one another creates stronger communities, healthier workplaces, and more meaningful relationships.
The Alliance designed "Showing Up for All in Stow-Munroe Falls" to help local leaders and concerned citizens foster inclusion in the community, through culturally informed, consistent advocacy. Admission to the events is free, but optional donations are appreciated; all donations go toward speaker/facilitator fees.
