Marpheen Chann, is a Portland, Maine-based thinker, writer, educator and speaker on social justice, equity, and inclusion. In “Welcome Home,” Marpheen shares his insights, lessons learned, and maybe a few laughs as he shares his story as a second-generation Cambodian American who went through foster care and adoption, struggled with fitting in and adapting to a white-majority community, and coming out as gay to his devoutly religious family. Marpheen will be joining us via Zoom. Register here: http://bit.ly/marpheen
