Navigating the Chaos: Step 1 in the Racial Equity Conversation

Navigating the Chaos Description

• “I don’t have White Privilege, and I hate the phrase”
• “Just Do Something”
• “What can I do?”
• “I want to help but I don’t know how to be an Ally”
• “If only they would….then this wouldn’t keep happening.”
• “Having ‘The Talk’ as People of Color”
• “This isn’t just George Floyd (or Breonna Taylor, or Ahmaud Arbery, or Michael Brown, or insert any name of a person of color killed by law enforcement), it’s over 400 years of oppression.”

If the phrases/statements have been on your social media feed, in your In Box, on your text messages, let’s talk. Let’s navigate the chaos in a structured and respectful manner. Let’s lean into the discomfort and conversation. Let’s leave with tangible steps.

Step 1 will address the following:

• Respectful guidelines in having mixed race conversations
• Diversity vs. Cultural Competence vs. Equity
• Bias Awareness (Explicit vs. Implicit)
• Opportunities to advance racial equity in your community
