About the Pride Power Breakfast Program
Pride Power Breakfasts are a great way to start anyone's business day. These popular events attract dozens of eager workplace equality activists and offer timely discussion topics.
Many well-known companies have supported Out & Equal by hosting Breakfasts. In turn, the events encourage ongoing dialogue regarding current diversity issues in the workplace.
In May 2006 Laurie Lippin, Ph.D. lead the workshop "Making Whiteness Visible: LGBT Internal Diversity Issues" at the California State Automobile Association's (CSAA) San Francisco headquarters.

Laurie Lippin sheds some new light on being white, as Patrick Vitale takes in one of many enlightening messages this workshop provided
