The Boxser Diversity Initiative promotes diversity and inclusion to encourage a better understanding of the diverse groups — racial, religious and gender — in Southwest Florida that embrace the mission of diversity, inclusion and community. The initiative has brought global speakers, commentators and scholars to Southwest Florida.
We showcase exhibits, screen films, and create events that highlight some of the most important topics of our time.
