Race Conscious Dialogues

This workshop series is for those who identify as Latine/Latinx, Asian and Pacific Islander, South Asian, SWANA, Black, Indigenous, mixed, biracial and multiracial. During our time together, we will examine our identities in the larger conversation of race, the complexity of identity, and oppressive power structures, with a specific focus on unpacking the nuances within our racial identities and the dominant narrative of whiteness. While we share common experiences being othered and racialized by the dominant culture, even amongst people of color we cannot assume that we are gathering with the same lived experiences. We seek to honor both the similarities and differences we bring to this space, while still acknowledging the diversity in our experiences when it comes to colorism, texturism, featurism, caste, classism, language, citizenship, creed, anti-Blackness, xenophobia, and more.

Friday April 10 (5PM-8PM) - Community Building and Understanding our Social Identities (light dinner provided during session)

Saturday April 11 (9AM-12noon) - Intersectionality and Unpacking Racial Socialization

Saturday April 11 (2PM-5PM) - Relationships to Dominant Culture as BIPOC through narrative

Sunday April 12 (9AM-12noon) - Narrative Sharing

Sunday April 12 (2PM-5PM) - Deconstructing Dominant Culture, Addressing Internalized Oppression, and Engaging in Allyship

Please plan to participate in all 5 sessions, as they are designed to build upon one another. Navigation of stairs is required for the room where this particular cohort is held. While some of our events are virtual and others are held in accessible locations, and we are working on capital improvement solutions, we realize we must improve upon our disability justice efforts.

THANK YOU!!!
