Workshops
AntiBlackness and You
This workshop explores the topic of AntiBlackness. By defining AntiBlackness how it is different from racism and ways to AntiBlackness has been institutionalized both historically and contemporarily. Attendees will walk away with a robust understanding of how various systems of oppression intersect with one another to create, uphold and perpetuate AntiBlackness as well as what steps they can take to unlearn and combat it.
Intersectionality
The workshop on intersectionality is a deep dive into the feminist framework created by dr. Kimberle Crenshaw. Participants will learn the history of the concept as well as learn to dispel some myths and common misconceptions about the framework. Lastly participants will have an opportunity to discuss their own understandings of the framework and be given tools to better understand and implement the use of intersectionality in their own lives and work.
