Hello neighbors!
I'm writing with an invitation to join us in Accountability in Anti-Racism - a 6-part dialogue and embodiment series to examine the relationship of whiteness, womanhood, and personal responsibility for cultivating an anti-racist culture. We will be examining how racialization in whiteness perpetuates racism in all of its expressions (institutional, structural, cultural, personal).
The series will bring to light how expressions of racism live within the bodies of white-identifying people. Participation includes a commitment to attend the full 6-part series, with approximately 2 hours of reviewing resources prior to each session. We begin on Feb 3, and will hold sessions via Zoom every other Thursday 6:30-8:30.
Specifically, for this series, the focus will be on people socialized, to any extent, as women. Working with a variety of educational resources between sessions (essays, articles, videos, podcasts); we will make use of our time together in sessions with active listening, embodiment techniques, and trust building to be vulnerable with each other and build the muscles needed for discomfort in racialized situations.
