Mathematics is more than just numbers - it’s a powerful language that shapes our world. Dr. Talithia Williams joins us to explore how storytelling and lived experience can transform complex data into impactful narratives. In this talk, you’ll discover how data can be used to challenge personal health assumptions and how your own voice can reshape the public perception of who does math.

General admission tickets are free with a suggested donation of $25. Purchase a VIP ticket for $70 to get premium reserved seating and access to an exclusive social hour after the talk with our speaker over food and drink.
