Brown Bag Lecture: Trailblazers Who Changed and Are Changing the World

Dramatic book reviewer Jenny Riddle brings to life the fascinating stories of trailblazers who changed and are changing the world. Meet champion tennis player and feminist Billie Jean King, supreme court justice Sonia Sotomayor, abolitionist and suffragist Lucy Stone, poet and recluse Emily Dickinson, Stoic philosopher and Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius, thought leader and psychologist Adam Grant, and social activist and pop artist Sister Corita Kent.  You’ll be inspired to find the courage to be yourself, re-think ideas that no longer serve you or your communities, speak up for justice and equality, reframe self-limiting stories, and maintain hope in a turbulent and changing world.
