What’s in a word: Brand Engagement in the age of #BLM - Wednesday September 9th 3pm ET / 12pm PT

We are in a unique moment in history and a time to reflect on what it really means to engage in social issues to drive positive change. Join us for a discussion between the organizations and young people who are committing to change. They will talk about creating community via conversations about race and ethnicity, what this generation is looking for as they look to change systems from the ground up and using your influence to encourage others to do the same.
