* This interactive experience is designed to help you better understand the history of race and racism in America. We will take a journey through time to help you understand how we got to where we are and just how some of us benefit to this day from this history; while others are held down.
We will discuss the implicit bias we all have and where it comes from.
We will discuss questions you might have been afraid to ask like:
* Why can’t I say “All Lives Matter”?
* Why do they burn their own neighborhoods?
* What is white privilege?
* Am I a racist?
* What about Black on Black crime?
* Can’t they just work harder?
What Is The Overcoming Racism Workshop?
The Overcoming Racism workshop is based on my 59 years of experience as a Black man in America. In addition, I’ve done extensive research on race and racism.
In this frank workshop, we will go beyond the surface conversations normally held (or avoided) about this sensitive topic. I explain to you what it’s like to be Black in America and we take a deep dive into the forces and events that have brought us to the point we are today before we talk about ways we can all make things better.
As Morpheus said to Neo in the Matrix, this is your opportunity to take the red pill. If you want to see how deep this rabbit hole goes and you’re ready to face reality, this experience is what you are seeking.
This is your opportunity to ask all of those questions you’ve been afraid to ask. Attendees have told me you will come out of it with a new perspective.
Format
The Overcoming Racism workshop is offered as three 60 minute sessions on different days. The experience is done via Zoom, from the privacy of your own home.
There is some lecture. There are video clips. And, there is conversation.
Participation is limited to a small number of attendees. There are several reasons for this. I want you to be comfortable in being yourself and digging deep during the workshop. Over the course of the three hours, you will learn from the other attendees as well as from the materials presented. Also, you will have plenty of opportunities to interact with me, your guide as well as with your fellow participants. We dig deep. No questions or comments are off-limits.
To get the full experience, you must attend all three sessions. If you cannot attend live, you will be provided access to a recording.
