Hi, my name is Cathy Blair. I am a Program Manager in the Housing department. I have been working at Penny Lane for over 25 years. Penny Lane has offered professional development opportunities, allowing me to grow in various roles. I have developed a robust set of skills and a proven track record. What I love most about working at Penny Lane is our shared values and commitment to helping others. I love spending time with family and friends in my free time, and I am a pet parent to my dog, Lyle.

SESSION OVERVIEW

Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation
The simulation is an interactive tool that helps people understand the connections among racial equity, hunger, poverty, and wealth. It is a good first step for people unaware of structural inequality, a support tool for those who want a deeper understanding of structural inequality, and a source of information for experts who want to know the quantifiable economic impact of each policy that has widened today’s racial hunger, income, and wealth divides.
