BAINBRIDGE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION PRESENTS: LeadHERship - a Fireside Chat with Mónica Guzmán
Thursday, March 28 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Bainbridge Performing Arts, 200 Madison Ave N, Bainbridge Island. $20 for adults, free for students and for those who request it. Join Bainbridge Community Foundation for a fireside chat with Mónica Guzmán, journalist and author of the book
I Never Thought of it That Way. Mónica is the loving liberal daughter of Mexican immigrants who voted—twice—for Donald Trump. When the country could no longer see straight across the political divide, Mónica set out to find what was blinding us and discovered the most eye-opening tool we’re not using: our own built-in curiosity. Mónica is the Senior Fellow for Public Practice at the national cross-partisan depolarization organization Braver Angels, and in this fireside chat, she’ll share her experiences and help the audience gain tools for better understanding or even learning from people with a different or opposed worldview.
