How do we begin to heal racism?
According to Dr. Tiffany Jana, one of the leading educators in diversity, equity, and inclusion, healing happens through “concentric circles of care.” We begin with ourselves, by reckoning with our own shadows and our own culpability in systems of oppression. And that’s step one.
We then need to extend ourselves and engage in our families and neighborhoods, in our workplaces, and in our communities—and to commit to acting on our newfound awareness. As Dr. Jana says, if we’re doing this right, it will be uncomfortable … and that’s a necessary part of the process.
And then we need to extend even further—to move out of our “silos” and create a matrix of unity around the world.
With “Healing Racism,” Dr. Jana will be leading us in a three-part webinar series, offered for free by Sounds True, beginning Wednesday, June 24, at 8 pm ET | 5 pm PT. In conversation with Sounds True founder Tami Simon, Dr. Jana will discuss:
- The meaning and importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity
- The work of uncovering and addressing our own unconscious bias
- Why having conversations is critical to learning about experiences outside of our own—and how to show up fully to such conversations even when they’re difficult
- How to hold ourselves accountable while also seeing ourselves with love when we falter along the way
- Understanding and addressing subtle acts of exclusion—in our neighborhoods, communities, and at work
- How we can become change agents every day by voting with our dollars and supporting businesses that align with our values
- The power of this moment, and why now is the time when we can help initiate a paradigm shift and a substantial disruption of racism
“We have the opportunity to reshape the world we live in with mindful intention toward inclusion and justice,” teaches Dr. Jana. We need brave hearts right now to do this work, and to deeply engage with ourselves, our communities, and the world. This is our journey to walk together. Please come join us.
