Unshaming

Jordan Gonsalves

If you’ve ever felt judged or like you’ve had to hide who you are, you’re invited to the Unshaming dinner party. A place where you are safe to be your authentic self and where your curiosity knows no limits. Hosted by journalist Jordan Gonsalves, we’ll have raw conversations with experts and storytellers to explore how shame is quietly shaping our relationships, our culture, our sense of self - and what becomes possible when we stop hiding and start belonging. Dinner’s ready.
