“Race, Racism, and Allyship” – Feb. 2022
-True allyship lies in the act of creating more inclusive spaces. While there is a role for minoritized communities to play in representing their own voices, true allies learn to fill the spaces where those voices are not represented or heard. True allies learn to identify, understand, and manage their own privilege to the advantage of inclusive goals. Regardless of identity, each of us has the potential to use our areas of relative power and influence to help us all get free from oppressive paradigms and systems. Presenters will discuss their identities and journeys with managing privilege, including the process of learning to harness areas of privilege while managing the costs that come with being willing to sacrifice privilege in the true service of diversity, equity and inclusion. Participants will be challenged to identify their own areas of privilege, power, and influence in order to develop strategies for enacting inclusionary and revolutionary change in their environments.
