Hosted by Alton YWCA, Diverstory is a series of three sessions where children and their grownups come together to listen to a children’s story about diversity and engage in guided conversations about diversity, inclusion, and race. The first ten families to register will receive a copy of both books as well as an activity kit to continue intentional conversations about race. Intersectional Allies is for children ages 6-12 and Speak Up is for children ages 4-7. Facilitated by Becky Cowart and Georgia Bratton.
