10 Steps toward racial healing
A 10-week class in Zoom, Tuesdays, 2/9/21-4/20/21, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Optional Orientation: Wednesday, 2/3/20, 6:00-7:00 p.m.
“There is no social change fairy. There is only the change made by the hands of individuals.” Winona LaDuke
- Are you ready to be the change?
- Do you understand privilege? Know how to leverage it?
- Do you want to help confront systemic racism?
- Do you long to participate in collective healing with those on the same path?
We invite you to join our dynamic community and learn practical action steps from Dr. Singh to help:
● navigate daily and past experiences of racism,
● challenge internalized negative messages and privileges,
● handle feelings of stress, shame, and trauma,
● and begin to heal.
Most of our work will be based on the text "The Racial Healing Handbook” written by Dr. Singh. Along your journey you will gain tools to develop profound racial consciousness and conscientiousness and begin the healing from grief and trauma. Through this healing community, you will acquire the building blocks to heal in a world still filled with racial microaggressions and discrimination.
The course will be facilitated by Aimée Zenzele Barnes with the support of Ayanna Kiburi, Gretchen Jung and the CSA Ujima Ministry.
