We are continuing to see the effects of COVID-19 disproportionately impact communities of color all over the country as it relates to healthcare, education, the economy, social services, the job market, and many other systems. It is critical that we acknowledge and understand WHY communities of color are disproportionately experiencing the worst of this pandemic, and HOW we can ensure our individual and structural responses don’t inadvertently perpetuate and exacerbate these disparities.
The Equity Paradigm is excited to facilitate a Virtual Racial Equity learning series on Fridays in June (June 12, June 19, June 26). This series will provide participants with a foundational understanding of racial equity, as well as tangible behaviors, mindsets and decisions that can help advance racially equitable outcomes on individual, organizational and structural levels. Registrants will be sent a link to allow access to the workshops.
Workshop 2: Friday, June 19
Our Foundations in Internalized Racism workshop pushes participants to examine their own socialization and the unconscious norms, assumptions and biases that have been ingrained in us, that perpetuate racism and uphold the system has it was designed. We will interrogate our own lived experiences and identities, build community and devise strategies for deconstructing Internalized Racial Superiority and Internalized Racial Oppression through racial identity caucusing, all while building our capacity to work towards racial equity in the spaces we occupy.
