SUMMARY:Salons at Stowe
DESCRIPTION:We need to talk. We need each other. We need community. \nJoin the Stowe Center for Literary Activism for an open forum centered on current news and the issues shaping our lives right now. These gatherings invite neighbors into conversation\, reflection\, and community connection in a welcoming space where dialogue can spark understanding and action. \nRather than focusing on a single predetermined topic\, this forum makes room for what people most want and need to talk about. Contemporary issues will remain at the heart of the conversation\, with space for participants to bring their questions\, concerns\, and perspectives. \nCome be in community\, engage with others\, and help turn conversation into action. \nAbout Derek Hall \n\nDerek Hall (he/him/his) is a dynamic anti-racist intergroup dialogue facilitator\, public speaker\, and activist committed to challenging beliefs and institutional culture rooted in systemic racism and other forms of oppression. \nDerek has worked in the diversity\, equity\, and inclusion field for more than ten years\, partnering with public and private school systems\, for-profit and nonprofit organizations locally and nationally. His passion for decolonized education\, human connection\, and implementing racial equity strategies has led him to speak to audiences of more than 500 people and facilitate groups as small as 5 to 15. As a Racial Equity Consultant and Coach\, Derek believes that “changed people change systems\,” and he uses facilitation\, storytelling\, and community building to deepen the racial and social consciousness of individuals and organizations.
