This workshop series is for those who identify as Latine/Latinx, Asian and Pacific Islander, South Asian, SWANA & MENA, 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 white 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.
