Emily’s experience with ACAM Dialogues:
My experience with the ACAM Dialogues can only be described as eye-opening. Through our cohort’s discussions as well as our guest speakers’ talks, the Dialogues has enriched my understanding of the complexity of topics surrounding race and racism. Furthermore, it has shown me to what it means to foster meaningful relationships when discussing topics such as these in both virtual and physical spaces.
