Racial Justice & Me: Exploring Early Memories and Personal Capacity to Address Racism & Colonialism
presented by Jarvis Marlow-McCowin
The purpose of this workshop is to provide participants with an opportunity to 1) learn about the historical foundations of race and racism, 2) engage in personal, small, and large group reflection about early memories of race, racism, and racial justice, 3) develop a Personal Action Plan for showing up along one's personal racial justice journey as an effective and meaningful change agent. Participants will be exposed to various historical moments in United States history to explore anti-Black, anti-Asian, and anti-Latina/o/x racism and anti-Indigenous colonialism. As a result, participants will learn key strategies they can implement along their journey to truly be in community with one another to create and sustain a better world for all. Finally, participants will be guided through a reflective activity to reflect on what this all means for their organization regarding exclusivity, equity, and racial justice. |
