In celebration of Juneteenth, join us for a virtual conversation with BIPOC leaders. Panelists will discuss the need for disruption in their industries, their personal stories of seeking and achieving liberation in their careers, the impact they hope to make with their own positive disruption, and what liberation looks like on individual and collective levels.

Panelists include:

• Bithiah Carter, president, New England Blacks In Philanthropy
• D’Wayne Edwards, founder, PENSOLE Footwear Design Academy
• Betty Francisco, CEO, Boston Impact Initiative
• Makeeba McCreary, Patti and Jonathan Kraft Chief of Learning and Community Engagement, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
• Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez, artist and co-founder, Street Theory

Sponsored by Chase. Additional programming support is provided by The Lowell Institute.
