IBPA Publishing University 2023

Despite what we have traditionally been taught, it is possible to build a justice-based, equitable business that is profitable and sustainable. In her groundbreaking book, The Anti-Racist Business Book, entrepreneur and business coach Trudi Lebrón teaches business owners how to reimagine their work – and the meaning of wealth – so that their success contributes to the health of our communities, and society as a whole.
 
Following her keynote conversation with IBPA Board Chair, Karen Pavlicin, this session will be a deep dive into the ways that we can apply anti-racist business practices to the day-to-day work within our own companies. Industry veterans and social justice advocates Neva Talladen and Angela Shanté Johnson will join Trudi to discuss topics ranging from transparent acquisition and content development practices to building an equitable and inclusive work environment. 

This team of experts will walk attendees through various aspects of the publishing business and ways we can re-imagine our work. Please come prepared with your specific questions and business challenges. This will be an interactive session.
