Launched in 2009, Conversations with a Black Minority is fast becoming "the place to be" for intimate and exhilarating talk on difficult and challenging issues. Join these four African American women activists as they invite you to learn and grow with their stories of personal and political growth and the impact this growth has on the communities with which they work. Come and join the conversation! (Participation in a previous class is not necessary.)

She is director of the Enterprise Center at the Fashion Institute of Technology/State University of New York and teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

He's a trained social therapist practicing at the Brooklyn Social Therapy Group and is on the faculty of the East Side Institute where he assists in leading Fred Newman's Developmental Philosophy Group.
