Join us for an insightful Collective Conversation with Tuti B. Scott, a renowned advocate for gender lens investing and women’s leadership. Tuti, founder of Changemaker Strategies, will lead a powerful discussion on Moving from Knowledge to Action. Drawing from her decades-long career in women’s leadership, philanthropy, and gender equity, Tuti will share her journey in developing a gender lens mandate and discuss why it is vital for all women to take charge of their financial power.

This conversation will explore practical steps needed to transition from knowledge to action in philanthropy and investing, with a particular emphasis on the importance of women entering the financial arena and for funding women of color efforts. The event will also touch on how investing with intention through a gender and racial justice lens can address economic security.

Join us for a compelling conversation with Rachel Sherman, sociologist, professor, and author of the critically acclaimed Uneasy Street: The Anxieties of Affluence. Rachel Sherman’s groundbreaking research examines the hidden emotional and social dynamics of wealth and privilege. In Uneasy Street, she investigates the lives of affluent individuals, uncovering how they navigate the contradictions of privilege, identity, and societal expectations. Her work offers an in-depth look at how wealth is experienced, justified, and often uncomfortably reconciled within broader structures of inequality.

In this conversation, Rachel will share her insights on how class, culture, and identity intersect to shape both personal experiences and systemic inequities. She will also explore how these dynamics relate to ongoing efforts to build a more equitable and inclusive society.

This event is an invitation to think critically about the complexities of affluence and its role in perpetuating or dismantling inequality. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a leading voice in sociological research and engage in a thought-provoking dialogue about equity and justice.

An in-person weekend retreat is the cornerstone of a 3-part series that will guide you from awareness to action and empower you to align your resources with your values.
