Book Talk: Breathing Out Live

About this event

Join us for a conversation with Author Whitney Parnell on her debut book, "Breathing Out: Ruminations of a Millennial Black Woman."

Book Talk: Breathing Out Live is an opportunity to hear directly from Service Never Sleeps CEO and founder Whitney Parnell on her debut book, Breathing Out: Ruminations of a Millennial Black Woman . The book covers stories and reflections from her personal and professional life, drawing from her years of activism, running a Black-led nonprofit, and navigating the world as a Black woman today.

Together, we'll dive into her stories, unpack her insights on today's cultural climate, and explore what it means to actively live out Allyship and pursue racial justice in our daily lives.

This program is for those who have trained with Service Never Sleeps, align with our mission, or want to learn more directly about the lessons and experiences of a Black woman leader in the nonprofit space and the world at large.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

Registration is appreciated.
