Becoming Anti-Racist
Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world.
That's why we have created a process of working with businesses, organizations, institutions and individuals through anti-racism learning circles so individuals can better understand how some groups continue to face barriers in terms of wealth, access to opportunity and access to power in general. Through these exercises, our team can create a safe space for both us and participants to actively engage in conversation and learning, understanding each of our own experiences through an anti-racist lens. Think of it as an opportunity to call-IN rather than call-OUT. It’s your moment to ask the hard questions in a space of non-judgement, understanding that we all hold unconscious biases as a result of white supremacy and anti-Blackness running rampant in our society.
This is more than just training. This is an opportunity to begin your life-long commitment to anti-racism.
Some of the topics you can expect in these discussions include:
-
History
-
The roots of racism
-
White supremacy: what it looks like and its effects
-
Equity, diversity and inclusion

Whatever else that may come up in the moment
Our interactive sessions are designed to provide you with shared language and understanding of how to move towards anti-racist practices and implementation in both your personal and professional life. We commit to offering meaningful learning opportunities for participants of all identities that will allow us to reflect on our individual and collective contributions to the larger systems around us.
