Plant Powered Disruptors Present: Embracing Our Full Identities

Plant Powered Disruptors invite you to a special evening dedicated to the power of showing up as our whole selves. Hosted at Urban Vegan Roots, this gathering will bring together speakers, performers, and facilitated group conversations to explore how our overlapping identities shape our lived experiences—and our impact.
Through personal storytelling, artistic expression, and guided dialogue, the evening will examine how these multidimensional identities influence how we show up in our work, activism, and everyday lives.
Speakers and performers include:
