SUMMARY:Coffee Chat with Maxine Crump
DESCRIPTION:Join us\, Friday\, November 22\, at Counterspace on Government Street for a meaningful and inspiring conversation you won’t want to miss!

As the founder of Dialogue On Race Louisiana and a long-time champion of racial justice\, Maxine brings a wealth of experience\, from breaking barriers as the first African American woman in LSU’s women’s housing and the first Black reporter at WAFB TV\, to winning awards like the 2022 Volunteer Activist Award and delivering a TEDxLSU talk\, “Why Not Talk About Race?”.

The event will provide a safe space to learn and grow together as we explore how to make difficult conversations about race more approachable and productive. The event will be held at Counterspace from 7:30 a.m. for networking\, with the discussion running from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with Maxine Crump and gain tools for progress and understanding.
