Workshop 7: Explicit Invitation: Mentoring and Community Building for Inclusion
Jackson
Larissa Brown Shapiro, Senior Engineering Program Manager, Mozilla
"Explicit Invitation: Mentoring and Community Building for Inclusion" is a workshop for anyone who wants to create greater diversity and inclusivity in their workplace, community, LUG, or open source project. We will discuss how unconscious bias shapes groups and how we can break the cycle of unintentional exclusion, and then how we can mentor each other and do more outreach to include more awesome talented people.
