Our dynamic panelists Jewel Hazelton, M.S. IMC, JaBre V. Scott, and Matt Austin as well as moderator Stephanie Zirkle-Puerto each provided their experiences and forward thinking to the discussion. We not only want to talk about the current status of Allyship in the Workplace, but how we continue the conversation and really drive change.
