Learning objectives:
Racism is a difficult topic to delve into and even harder to overcome within our selves. However, with a clear understanding of the problem comes targeted solutions. Through an analysis of the way racism exists in our socialization and thinking, we can begin to search for and build counter activities and strategies to support our unlearning and growth. This is how we move forward and whether you’re a teacher, a Fortune 500 leader, a staff at a corporation, or a homeschooling parent, there is manageable and deep work to do. Lorena has designed frameworks to make this accessible and achievable.
