Welcome to MPI Greater New York's Cultural Collective Experience Library

The Cultural Collective Experience is an MPI Greater New York program designed to collect from members recommendations on books, podcasts, music, documentaries, movies, etc. with a diversity and inclusion focus. Each month will offer a new theme, however, submissions for any D&I-related media are welcome at any time.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are seeking contributions with a theme that focuses on raising awareness on the impact of breast cancer. .

Should you wish to submit literature or media suggestions to the library curators, please click here.

*PLEASE NOTE: The submissions received do not represent the views and opinions of the MPI Greater New York organization.
