Event Description:

Having conversations of Race and Allyship is the first step in addressing antiracism and
discrimination in the workplace. Employees often don't know what to say, how to say it, or even where to begin these conversations. This program helps open the door to talk about race in a safe way for all employees.

The objective of this discussion is centered on 4 points:
1. Processing different perspectives around common phrases and perspectives used during
discussions about race that could unintentionally cause harm.

2. Understanding how trauma affects the way that we talk and listen to people who are experiencing it. (make no mistake, we are experiencing trauma all in our own ways.)
3. Teaching the definition of how "to ally" - an Ally is not something that one can simply be; it is something that one does.
4. Identification of steps that we can take as an Ally, and what to do when we mess up (because we all will and do).
