How to Navigate Difficult Conversations on Race + Anti-Racism Work for White Folks
Ep. 20 - Last episode of season 1, we will be back in February 2022 for season 2! As we are in the midst of holiday season and safely gathering with friends and family, this can mean that our buttons will be pushed, we might get fragmented, someone says something that triggers us and all of a sudden our stress response gets activated. We get cut off from our whole brain and body reacting in old habitual patterns that are no longer in alignment with our true self. Sometimes being around family also means having difficult or uncomfortable conversations and getting into discussions that can be hard to navigate when we don’t have the right tools. In this episode I want to focus in particular on conversations around race, specifically white folks talking to other white folks about systemic racism and systems of oppression, which are important conversations needed to occur in our interpersonal relationships so that we can do the inner work together to create the outer impact we wish to bring about in a more just and equitable world. Together we will explore the training I did with Dr. Campt called the RACE method, a dialogue tool and coaching system designed to help white folks speak with white skeptics on race. It’s in dialogue, being in relation with others, that we learn, grow, evolve and effect meaningful change.Summary:What is whitenessWhat is anti-racismMindfulness and social justice workThe steps of the RACE Method by Dr. Campt, founder of The Dialogue CompanyFor The RACE Method Training and White Ally Toolkit visit www.whiteallytoolkit.comConnect with me on IG @thepractice
