Wear cultural dress, if possible. Keynote speaker Sabrina Sojourner, the first open lesbian to be elected to the United States Congress, will speak about building bridges of understanding across differences, including race, gender, and sexual orientation. She will also speak about which critical issues women and lesbians should follow under a conservative Republican administration.
