About this Elevate Masterclass: Anti Racism - An Act of Love

Anti-racism work is work of love. It's time to do "equity and diversity" work differently - that means moving towards some "Real Talk" about racism, imagining an anti-racist world, and bringing that vision into being with concrete actions.

What's included

• Anti-racism learning is uncomfortable: Most workshops leave people filled with guilt and shame. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
• Dave Chapelle and Paul Mooney:
  • The discomfort factor
  • Ask a black guy
• Don't touch my hair!:... and other anecdotes people mistake for empathy
• Diversity vs Anti-Racism: Subtle and fundamental differences
• Commit to change-making:
  • It’s critical that we commit to making positive change ... by any means necessary
  • Grounding your commitment
  • Fear of commitment
• Everyday anti-racism, a practical guide:
  • Skin color as a descriptor, where you are from, and more
  • Asking questions about race, and practical responses
• Gather your tools and put them to work: Try suggesting one specific thing people in your sphere of influence can do to start
• Who's at the table?:
  • Develop your vision of anti-racist change-making according to your audience
  • Understand the resistence
• Never give up: You’re strengthening the foundation of love that can bring more people together
• Practice gratitude: Celebrate your successes, however small they are, and focus on that as you build
