Cafe at the Edge of Whiteness: Authentically Breaking Out of Racial Scripts
Description
It’s common for anti-racist practitioners to turn to the language of “white fragility” to describe those moments where white folks “freeze” out of fear of doing the wrong thing. And the resulting dynamic for people who identify as BIPOC often includes anger and frustration. In both cases, it’s easy for disempowerment to set in. And when that happens oppression wins.
So what does it look like to push against the edges of whiteness, to be centered, authentic and remain in relationship as we seek to achieve racial justice in the workplace and beyond?
Co-founder of Anima Leadership, Shakil Choudhury and Director of Training Emma Lind will host a conversation with the Anima community where we explore strategies for breaking out of the existing scripts whiteness has trained us all to adopt. Together, we will explore leadership practices of being in more authentic relationship in the equity struggle whether in the workplace, in our personal or community lives.
