The Guided Conversations Project, supported by the “This Talk Isn’t Cheap” report and toolkit, aims to illuminate the intersectional experiences of women of color and promote allyship in the legal profession. In honor of this vision and Women’s History Month, the Commission is hosting a panel of highly accomplished women who represent a diversity of identities and legal specialties. Moderated by former CWP Chair Michele Coleman Mayes, the panelists will share their experiences and engage in a thought-provoking dialogue around race, gender, and ethnicity in the legal profession. This virtual program will include a 60-minute moderated conversation followed by a 30-minute Q&A portion. Co-sponsored by the Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice.
