It is not enough to be “not racist,” the goal should be and always is how to be “anti-racist.” An important part of anti-racism work is the ability to listen. We often listen to others to respond or to get our point across, however, we must learn how to actively listen to the person in front of us to validate them and empathize with their experience.
In this workshop you will learn about the importance of empathy, humility and active listening in anti-racist work. You will leave with tools that will equip you to better your listening skills, and interact with others who may be different from you and/or those who hold differing opinions and ideas about race, politics, gender, etc.
The time will be facilitated by Jonathan Dumas, organizational psychologist and Lindsay Dumas, DEI educator and facilitator. They have ten years of combined experience working in and with non-profits, higher education, for profit companies and church organizations on equity, justice, and anti-racism. Both have spoken at numerous conferences on topics of cultural competency and humility, inclusive leadership, race and the church, and becoming an anti-racist leader.
WHEN:
