August 20 Webinar: Sexism and Racism

In light of the continuing injustices throughout our world, there is yet another subtle “ism” that continues to raise its ugly head in the form of sexism. Discrimination, prejudice, and stereotypes typically against women, sexism also suggests that a particular sex or gender is more preferred or superior than the other.

Join us as we continue our discussion on racism, with an emphasis on sexism as manifested in the workplace and the church. This webinar intends to address the inconsistencies between gendered racism, identify the needs of those who have experienced sexism, and empower everyone to help lead a positive change in sexism and racism that will manifest itself as equality for all!

Moderator: Rev. Valerie Andrews (PULPIT program director, senior pastor of the Eternal Life Missionary Baptist Church in Philadelphia)
