Guided Conversations Project

    The Guided Conversations Project addresses the intersectionality of race/ethnicity and gender in the legal profession.  Through structured dialogue women of color and white women can bridge gaps in understanding and build allyship to promote racial equity.

    This Talk Isn't Cheap: the Report

    This Talk Isn’t Cheap: Women of Color and White Women Attorneys Find Common Ground provides a guide to improving conversations about gender, race, and ethnicity, also referred to as intersectionality, so that all women can work together in combating the barriers to advancement in the legal profession. This report explores the reasons why women of color have feelings of mistrust toward their white female colleagues, while also addressing the challenges white women experience in attempting to understand the needs of their minority female colleagues.
