Anti-Racism EDUCATION
Want to learn how to build an antiracist lens at work? Your invite you to join me in this FREE Live Online Antiracism Workshop on Wednesday, September 11th, 12 pm-1 pm Eastern Time (ET)! Register for your free workshop ticket If you and your organization are starting on your commitment towards antiracism and equity, or you've already started to take action, this free workshop is for you. What you'll learn in the Free Online Antiracism Workshop: 1. Understand Racism In Canada. A clear introduction to ignite your unlearning & relearning process in critical thinking. Rooting our understanding of today’s racial injustices and white supremacy in the historical impacts of living on stolen land, the cultural genocide of Indigenous peoples, the enslavement of Black people and the racist structures that impact the life outcomes of Black, Indigenous and racialized communities. 2. Learn to hold antiracist conversations at work. It is essential that an antiracist lens is integrated in the decisions we make within our workspaces. Who is being centred? What uncomfortable conversations are you avoiding? What policies and practices at work are creating inequities? We will look at the lens needed to take steps toward community and organizational change, and we will reveal what it looks like to be actively antiracist in the spaces we are in. 3. Learn how to become a true Ally. Allyship requires inner change + measurable action steps at home, at work & in your community. We must ensure that we are moving beyond the performative- theatre ways that allyship is often displayed. We’ll discuss Intention vs. Impact and the harm in white centring as you embark on being a part of the change. **You will get this live training, plus bonus tools and resources! You'll also get access to the live workshop replays.
