SUMMARY:Day of Diversity - Brunch Queen\, a featured short film
DESCRIPTION:Symone Says “Let’s Watch Brunch Queen”\, a featured short film. \nHosted by local Vancouver Drag Superstar\, Symone Says\, and together with PCMA Canada West\, we invite Director\, Writer and Producers\, Sean Horlor and Steve J. Adams for an exclusive interview and viewing of their short film ” Brunch Queen”. This film follows a hilarious gay couple (who can’t stand each other’s company but are still very much in love) as they prepare for the opening night of a musical based on their infamous insult diner. This 11-min short doc is shot like an episode of a mockumentary television sitcom\, like The Office or Modern Family. It’s a humorous and poignant exploration of love and aging in the LGBTQ community.

SUMMARY:CL19 Rebroadcast: Main Stage | Transforming Experiences Into a Positive Force for Change
DESCRIPTION:This video contains language which may be offensive to some viewers. \nTwo remarkable people will tell their stories of grit and resilience\, proving that life experiences can uniquely position all of us to change the world for the better. \nSteve Pemberton’s journey has taken him from being an orphan in foster care to a trail-blazing corporate executive\, author\, and philanthropist. At Monster\, Walgreens and in his current role as Globoforce Chief Human Resources Officer\, he changed the diversity conversation from classifying people by visible characteristics to focusing on who they are and the life experiences they bring. Steve will share how any organization can shift their paradigm by getting the most out of their teams to increase customer engagement\, company morale\, and revenue. \nNadya Okamoto personifies the idea of “being the change.” Ever since she was a young girl in Portland\, Oregon\, her inquisitive nature has inspired her to find solutions to unaddressed problems. At the age of 16 she hopped on Google and figured out how to start her nonprofit\, PERIOD\, which provides menstrual hygiene products to the homeless. Four years later\, Nadya has galvanized multiple generations using social media to garner support and PERIOD now has more than 150 chapters across the U.S. Nadya will explain how she overcame adversity and turned her experiences into a platform for advocacy and women’s empowerment. \n1.0 Clock Hour\nDomain E: Human Resources
