Dear Friends of the AIANY Women in Architecture Committee,

Come celebrate Women’s History Month with us! You will not want to miss this event…

The AIANY Women in Architecture Committee is delighted to host the “In Dialogue With…Yiselle Santos Rivera on the Power of J.E.D.I. Storytelling” at our March Monthly Committee Meeting. After our regular announcements, Yiselle Santos Rivera, AIA, the Global Director of Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion at HKS, and the founder of Women Inspiring Emerging Leaders in Design (WIELD), will show a short video about the power of storytelling, and how it brings everyone together. She will also describe how WIELD provides a platform to engage women in finding their paths and strengths through other people’s stories, and how to empower them with success stories, by sharing their challenges, experiences, and achievements.

Yiselle will then share her own story, starting from her childhood in Puerto Rico, finding her calling to become an architect, charting her career as a medical planner, building an equitable practice, leading J.E.D.I. initiatives, and advocating and empowering women architects.

A Q&A session will follow and attendees will have the opportunity to have a dialogue with Yiselle about Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in our profession.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN US! We look forward to seeing you and thank you in advance for your participation and support.

Vivian Lee, FAIA and Rosalind Tsang, AIA | AIANY WIA Committee Co-Chairs
