These lunchtime online gatherings are an ongoing resiliency workshop series for white-bodied and white-presenting folks. These are meant for all white folks, but we especially encourage white educators, folks in the non-profit realm, therapists, parents of children of color, and those in social justice movements to attend.
Why a resiliency series? For many white people, the topic of racism, colonization, and the racialized system in which we find ourselves in our schools and places of work can feel overwhelming and confusing, commonly leaving them unequipped to stick with goals of inclusivity and anti-racism. This resiliency series aims to give white folks tools to help them stabilize, ground, and fully engage with accountability and movement towards a healthier culture. With these tools, white folks can fully engage with untying the inherited knots of collective racialized trauma.
WORKSHOP 1:
For this first of many workshops, we will focus on accountability. Looking at each of our inherited values and ideas of who and what is “normal,” we will self-reflect on how these conditioned perspectives impact how we show up in our places of work, our communities, our families, and other social communities. Truth-telling is a rite of passage and an initiation for white folks into doing the real work of anti-racism and culture change.
