Connection and Chill

Cocktails and streaming content for the casual consumer

Each quarter, the YAF Knowledge Focus Group curates streaming video content and a cocktail recipe to salute each Connection issue theme. In Q2, we highlight Advocacy & Empowerment where we look at areas where we architects can make positive changes for a more equitable world for all.
