Join us for an important discussion about finding community despite challenging conditions, and experiencing joy and success in the face of hardship. These are themes exemplified in Nikita Stewart's book, Troop 6000: The Girl Scout Troop That Began in a Shelter and Inspired the World (Ballantine Books, 2020), which was called “A powerful book full of powerful women" by Chelsea Clinton. We'll hear from:
- Nikita Stewart, author of Troop 6000: The Girl Scout Troop That Began in a Shelter and Inspired the World
- Meridith Mascara, CEO of Girl Scouts of Greater New York
- Giselle Burgess, the parent who established Troop 6000 while living with her five children in the shelter system
- Moderator: Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist at The New York Times Magazine
