YW-NYC Girls Initiatives hosted an exciting and informative panel discussion, Creating Change: Challenging Everyday Racism and Misogynoir (ingrained prejudice against black women). This free virtual event was led by YW-NYC high-school-aged Girls Initiatives participants, who have gone through intensive bystander intervention training that prepares them to utilize their voice to empower others through advocacy.

Moderated by Vanne-Paige Padgett, Senior Director of Girls Initiatives, this webinar is part of the YW-NYC Creating Change Conversations series that teaches strategies for addressing daily manifestations of racism, gender oppression, and sexual violence, and is part of our Black History Month events.
