Description: We are invested in building a better and stronger practice with the strength of inclusion.  Let us take the time to analyze our unique particularities by naming our individuals self for the benefit of collective selves. Truly, in times like these with the sweeping eradication of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative, how do we as a community find courage to hold tight to our values of pluralism? Join Dr. Jé on a quest to build a fortress of diversity and inclusion piece by piece.

Bio: Rev. Dr. Jé Exodus Hooper (them/they) is an arts and cultural curator, consultant, clergy, and scholar, who has served Humanist congregations and cultural institutions for over 11 years. With a passion for the arts, ethics, and community-based performance, Dr. Hooper has produced a film entitled, Humanitas: A Conscious Coloring of Kindness, based on the relationship of W.E.B. DuBois and Felix Adler. Other films include Moving Upon the Face of the Deep, featuring Dr. Cornel West; The Black Sacred Communion, and a collaboration, entitled, [the listening heart].  Dr. Hooper invites communities and congregations alike, to go beyond a practice of 'leaning in' or attempting to curate ‘safe space’ but educate people to be 'sensorial' -- a way to reach out and touch lives and build relationships so we can make change.
