Navigating the professional world as a mixed person has always had its challenges, but with growing racial tensions it can feel even more isolating. That’s why Dr. Hayley Haywood, of Elevating Access, has created the Elevate Your Impact Summit - an “un-conference” just for multiracial changemakers. On today’s show, Dr. Haywood talks to us about why she created the summit and what you can expect.

Registration closes THURSDAY APRIL 30th, and tickets are pay-what-you-can. Claim your ticket here.
