"Awareness requires more than conversations and statements—it's now time," said Janet M. Harvey, forum host and CEO of inviteCHANGE. "Time to move from talking at each other to talking with each other, then go beyond talking to co-created plans of action."

• Robin DiAngelo, PhD: Professor, New York Times Bestselling Author of "White Fragility: Why Its So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism"
• James H. Pogue, PhD: Thought Leader, Researcher: Unconscious Bias, Diversity & Inclusion and Multi-Generational Intelligence
• Ron Busby, Sr.: President/CEO of the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC,) Entrepreneur, White House African American Leadership Council
• Janet M. Harvey, MCC: FORUM HOST, President & CEO of inviteCHANGE, LLC
