Thursday, June 7th 6:30-8:30PM at Mozilla San Francisco
Women Catalysts is thrilled to host a fireside chat with Tiffany Yu, the founder of award-winning social enterprise Diversability. Diversability is on a mission to get more people talking and thinking about disability as a core part of the diversity conversation.
What exactly is a disability? How can we be better informed and more inclusive? What does it mean to be an ally? Let's talk about it.
At Diversability, Tiffany works to unite the disability community, engage allies, and celebrate disability pride and empowerment. We'd love for you to be part of the conversation.
100% of ticket sales for this event support the wonderful work of SheLift. SheLift is a 501 (c)3 organization that empowers girls with physical differences to improve self-acceptance and confidence through outdoor adventures and body-positive mentorship.
