Invisible Child

REGISTRATION IS FILLING UP! WILL YOU JOIN US? Presione aquí para la invitación al evento en Español Don't miss this opportunity to #BreakTheBias! Join Women United and United Way of Greater New Haven for a virtual International Women’s Day Celebration, this Tuesday, March 8, 11:00am-12:00pm, featuring Pulitzer Prize-Winning New York Times Investigative Reporter, Andrea Elliott. Elliott's new book, Invisible Child, chronicles the life of Dasani Coates: an 11-year-old girl navigating life on the streets of Brooklyn. Homelessness, poverty, racism, addiction, and the perils of shelter life clash sharply with the coffee shops and art galleries of a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Elliott will share how systems affected generations of a single family - and the hope, love, and resilience that has gotten them through. These crucial learnings, as well as examining personal assumptions, can be applied in each of our efforts towards building a more kind and equitable world.
