You are welcome to join us for dinner if you can't make the program.

"Bestselling author and inclusive leadership expert Jennifer Brown discusses how to create belonging in our neighborhoods, friend groups, faith communities, schools, and city. Brown will address the now-contentious conversation surrounding DEI, offering a fresh and hopeful vision rooted in human connection. She unpacks the meaning of belonging, why it matters so deeply, how it shows up in daily life, and how Kansas Citians can lead with authenticity and inclusion, even in a changing landscape. This event is co-sponsored by: the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce."

Meet at the back of the room after the program - I will have a small sign that says "Meetup Group." We can walk over to the restaurant for a light bite after the program (Milwaukee Deli is one block away or there are other nearby options as well).

Flow is a 2024 animated film from Latvia that won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (it was also submitted, and accepted, to the Academy Awards as the International Feature film from Latvia). It has no dialogue and follows a cat trying to survive along with other animals in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world as the water level dramatically rises.

We can have an early dinner on the Plaza after, for anyone so inclined.
You can buy your ticket at the event, but it is a good idea to purchase before - $10 for members of the museum and $13 for non-members:
