Olga Segura, who is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, will invite us to consider the race and culture we have been born into, one that we did not choose.  We will hear how culture shapes us positively and negatively, and how these experiences affect the way we relate to people different from ourselves.  We will explore what our Catholic faith teaches about white supremacy and about transforming that and any other injustice that exists within us individually and collectively.
