Latest News, Life, News The Camas Public Library will host a 90-minute, virtual “Building Relationships Across Difference” event at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 14.
Alexis James, a longtime local educator and activist, and founder and CEO of Construct the Present, will lead the discussion of how our own biases may be limiting our experiences, even within our closest relationships. Participants will have a chance to brainstorm with others to expand their circles and experience more diverse relationships to continue the work of allyship and personal growth.
A part of the Camas library’s 2021 “Read for Change” program, the Sept. 14 event — originally scheduled for Aug. 11 — was made possible by a Black Voices Minigrant provided by Beanstack.
Registration is required. Participants will be emailed the Zoom login info the day before the event. To register, visit camaspubliclibrary.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=7688.
