You’ve witnessed the news, posted the hashtags, heard the comments and possibly experienced it for yourself, but when was the last time you and your colleagues talked about racism?

In response to recent events across the country, YWCA Central Alabama will host Face to Face with Race, a workshop designed to empower leaders to start conversations about racism and current events. The event is open to the public and set for Thursday, July 21 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the YWCA, 309 23rd Street North, Birmingham, AL 35203.
