Diversity Directors Cindy Ma, AICP, and Cherise Orange kicked off 2019 with STORYTELLING — an art and a creative way to connect people through words and to take their imaginations across distant lands. Stories can be funny, meaningful, emotional, or a mixture of all. Storytelling can help planners generate interest, understand the communities they serve, and empower residents.
The first Diversity event of the year, a Planners of Color (POC) mixer, was held Wednesday, March 27, at Lost & Found on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland. More than 25 Bay Area planners attended to exchange ideas, network, and enjoy.
