Intersectionality between neurodiversity and race
2025-04-16 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Detroit) | Online Webinar
Facilitated by Jannett Morgan
For many, ‘neurodiversity’ has become the new Black! But what happens if you are Black (i.e. of African heritage) and neurodivergent? Specifically, what happens to young adults when discrimination on the grounds of visible difference (ethnicity) intersects with discrimination on the grounds of hidden difference (neurodivergence)? With over twenty years as an educator and inclusive leadership consultant, Jannett Morgan addresses the neuro-elephant in the room and offers practical solutions from her new book “Young, Gifted, Dyslexic & Black: 7 Powerful Strategies for Success.
