Hard Conversations on Racism – You can do it!
In the US, there is no conversation harder to have than anything that is about race. White people report being afraid of offending someone. People of color are afraid their experiences and perspectives will be dismissed or ignored. But these are conversations that are long overdue and we all need to develop and practice being in dialogue with each other in order to move forward together. In this workshop, we will learn what White people should expect – and not expect – from people of color in these conversations and review strategies for having conversations with people who have different experiences and perspectives than you do. We will practice these in breakouts.
