start your teams' journey toward antiracism today
understanding racism 101 is your starting point.
With 10+ years of experience, we have developed an experience that is designed to be your staring point in understanding race, racism and your organization’s role in it all. If you have been watching the news, seeing the protests and wondering where to start for your team; this is your starting point. Understanding Racism 101 will take you on a path that ends with you developing an antiracism plan for you and your organization. The experience is split into three sections:
UNDERSTAND
Historical Context & Defining Terms
Section one is the foundation for the anti-racism sessions and provides a timeline of historical context for Racism in America. Participants walk through definitions of racist power, policies, and ideas to further understand reflect on a call to anti-racist action.
UNPACK
Power & Privilege
Section two focuses on power and privilege and the impact that has on greater systems in the United States (i.e. education, healthcare, justice). Participants consider the ideas of "normal" and "other" and reflect on internal aspects of racism, while unpacking their own privilege.
MOVE
Creating an Anti-Racist Action Plan
In section three, participants are asked to commit by developing an anti-racist action plan in both their personal and professional lives. We break down anti-racism planning into education, activism, and relationships and reflect, then set goals in those areas.
How we come in…
Between our facilitators and the guide we have created, there are a few ways that we can partner with your organization. Bring us to your team, have us educate and inspire with a keynote or, give your team an opportunity to do this work self-directed.
FACILITATOR LED
Our facilitators will come to you (either in person or virtually) and guide your community through all three sessions. We recommend a four hour block of time for this work. You are able to have all four hours in one day or break it up over two days if you prefer.
KEYNOTE + SELF GUIDED TRAINING
We will provide your team with an opening keynote highlighting the three sections, helping your team understand why this conversation and training is so vital to progress and leaving them inspired and ready to dive in as they begin their self directed journey through our curriculum.
SELF GUIDED TRAINING
You will provide your organization with our curriculum that is specifically designed for self guided or team based work and development.
