Find Your Voice

It's not you - it's the system

In this first module, we'll look at systems of oppression and gain an understanding of the effects of historical segregation in present systems. We'll also reflect on which of our past failures that were most likely connected to systemic barriers we faced.

Reconnecting with our identity

This module is all about getting comfortable with the various facets of our identity. We'll talk about how systems of oppression affect our identity and self-esteem and the psychological effects of the white gaze. We'll also figure out the steps to reclaim our confidence and heal from racial trauma.

Exploring our racial trauma

This module is about unpacking what ideas of success we need to unlearn. We'll work on dismantling white models of success and professionalism.

Redefining success on our own terms

This module is focused on creating a vision for our life based on our own terms and values. To do this, we will reflect on our core values and connect those values to our identities.

The white supremacy playbook

In this module, we’ll unpack which strategies of white supremacy (such as perfectionism, neutrality, divide & conquer) have been used against us and how to counter them.

Finding and using our voice

In this module, we’ll talk about how to use our voices and unique strengths to push for systemic change. We will cover strategies to counter racism and about how our collective liberation is connected.

The cost of our resilience

Navigating the world as the “other” is exhausting. In this module, we’ll talk about our perpetual exhaustion, how racial trauma hurts our wellbeing and health, and how to manage our nervous systems and energies.

Organizing in community

For our final module, we’ll talk about how to organize in community with others, because the work is impossible to do alone (and nor will we move the needle that way).
