Be the Change You Want to Be
by Jessica Pettitt
Tuesday, January 19
7 pm, Grafton Stovall Theatre

Referred to as the "Margaret Cho" of Diversity Trainers, Jessica Pettitt blends politics, humor, identity, and local flair with big city passion and energy.

Using an interactive and conversational style, this keynote encourages participants to play with their cell phones, raise their hands, and laugh out loud. The laughter comes from well-orchestrated humor as well as a slow developing feeling of discomfort. In order to really make change, a person must realize what they are oblivious to and come to understand how this lack of consciousness guides his or her actions and assumptions.
