Lenora Billings-Harris and Dr. Jim Smith Jr. host an important forum on race and authenticity. Expanding on More than Just Talk, this conversation will focus on the barriers and risks of being authentic and fully who we are as a Black person at work and in our community.
Lenora Billings-Harris and Gary Rifkin share insights, answer questions and suggest immediate and long-term actions for individuals and executives to address racism.

This is the recording of the first More Than Just Talk forum that explores short- and long-term solutions and ways to hold each other accountable.
