Giving Tuesday at BBBSKC

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday and we couldn’t be more excited here at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City! By now you’ve probably eaten through all of your Thanksgiving leftovers, caught up on your favorite TV shows, rejoiced in your Black Friday steals, and strung out a few Christmas decorations. But, have you made a plan to support your favorite nonprofit on Giving Tuesday? No?

A conversation on Current Events: Race, Culture, and Identity in America

“Who am I?” How would you answer that question using only 3 words? “Who do YOU think I am?” Which 3 words would someone you just met use to describe you? How different do you think those two lists of words might be? Would any of your words match up? “Who Am I?” vs. “Who do you think I am?” Last week our CEO, a group of Bigs, Littles, and Diversity Task Force members asked themselves those two questions to kick off our conversation on Race, Culture, and Identity in America.
