Marketplace Talks

Marketplace Talks is a conversation series – held over a meal – that allows people to discuss current events impacting local, national, and international communities. Broad topics are:

Privilege: As it relates to the advantages and disadvantages in society.

Mental Health: Concentrating on societal responses to mental wellness and the effects of those responses in the community.

Violence: Examining the impacts of intended harm in minority and broader communities, and its effects on society.

The conversations will include individuals who have been impacted by current events, advocates, and experts who can share their thoughts and experiences. Participants will learn why these topics are relevant and find out how they can connect to available resources to promote the flourishing and sustainability of our community. Some topics may include issues that create temporary discomfort in order to achieve long-term understanding.

To register for a Marketplace Talk, fill out our online form.

Marketplace Talks was created in partnership with Hampton Roads Made To Flourish City Network and the city's Office of Youth & Young Adult Opportunities.
