SUMMARY:LTHJ Global: Unlearning Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:How can you decolonize the way you live\, work and serve your team & community? \nThe impacts of colonialism can be found throughout our personal\, organizational and societal beliefs and behaviors. Decolonizing our ways of being in relationship with each other – at home\, at work and beyond – is a liberatory practice. \nThis November during American Indian Heritage month\, join this free virtual event to learn from the panelists\, connect with an anti-oppression community of leaders\, and ask your questions. We’ll be digging in to discuss: \n\nThe ongoing impacts of colonization\, particularly in North America and the Caribbean\nHow colonial mindsets and structures are reinforcing extractive processes today\, leading to disconnection from the self & others\nQuestions to ask yourself to begin unlearning the ways you unknowingly reinforce colonialism\nWays to begin decolonizing your leadership and team’s ways of working\nHow the panelists are decolonizing DEI\, creating a worker-first job search app\, and organizing in Jamaica & across the Caribbean to remove the British monarch as head of state\nThe part you can uniquely play in the collective work of decolonizing our homes\, workplaces and world\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Zapproved & Cinder Voices of Equity: Backlash & Social Movements
DESCRIPTION:Within the last 5 – 10 years we have seen more visibility of trans folks in media\, more Women & Women of Color in government\, and large social justice movements. However this has been followed by the overturning of Roe v Wade\, weaponizing of “Defund the Police”\, fear mongering of “Critical Race theory”\, and the filing of over and 240 anti-LGBTQ bills… (Deep breath) There is something about this moment that feels familiar. A pattern that we have lived over and over again\, and that pattern is the backlash inevitably tied to social progress. \nIn order to make our way through this Backlash with our dignity and humanity intact\, it’s first important that we shine a light on how it operates on both an interpersonal and structural level. \nJoin Robin Brown\, Facilitator and Strategist at Future Work Design as she discusses the downward swing of the pendulum in the fight for equality and the strategies we can use to hold firm in the face of resistance.\nSpeaker Bio: Robin Brown (she/her/hers) is a Black\, Trans\, immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago\, whose work is rooted in advocacy\, equity\, and justice. Through her arduous efforts of overcoming the barriers placed in organizations by institutional oppression was born a fierce passion for working toward dismantling it. Driving her is the idea that we can design an equitable work ecosystem that encompasses us all regardless of social identity. She is grounded in her purpose and from this root of strength transmits an expansive peacefulness. Her perspective has gifted her with the skill to connect individual experience with systemic design\, and through the power of storytelling she provokes thought\, emotion\, and action toward institutional change. Robin builds deep connections in all the work she does\, from connecting the dots as to why our work makes an impact\, to creating meaningful connections with clients. Her way of building connections is quietly powerful. Clients love working with Robin because of her kindness\, unique perspective\, passion for the work\, and ability to hold the discomfort that often comes with these difficult yet highly important conversations where so much is at stake. \nRegister here.

The OEN Awards are a chance to glam up\, reconnect\, and celebrate hard work and hope as we look to the future together. \nWhy?\nOEN has been helping build Oregon’s entrepreneurial community since 1991–that alone is something to celebrate! But we do it for the founders. So let’s come together to cheer all those teams creating the future in real-time. \nAward Categories \nEarly\, Development and Growth Awards – These core awards honor the best of the best in each stage of the entrepreneurial lifecycle\, based on financial achievement\, traction\, team\, and social impact. Three awards will be given\, one in each stage. \nExponential – Special category this year!

The winner will be selected live by audience vote at the OEN Awards! \nEntrepreneurial Achievement – That this founder has led their company to success is a given\, but who also demonstrates outstanding\, ethical leadership\, fosters a great workplace culture\, and sets an example others want to emulate?
