This three-day workshop series is for people of color employed as DEI workers within organizations, companies, or institutions (i.e. responsible for carrying out organization's DEI plan and/or equitable hiring practices). BRJA trainers of color will facilitate the series, bringing with them years of experience providing racial equity workshops for groups of color and mixed race groups including white people, primarily within the nonprofit field. Participants will develop or deepen their analysis of structural racism in the U.S. for the purpose of advancing racial justice, particularly as DEI workers of color. Additionally, they will leave the workshop series with an action plan for promoting strategies to mitigate inequitable racial barriers that arise within their respective organizations.

This workshop series is BRJA’s introductory class for white people, with an emphasis on education. Participants will all be educators.
Participants will explore the historical development as well as the contemporary implications of racism in the United States, how structural racism affects educational systems, the unique challenges for white educators working in a predominantly African American city and how to effectively strategize for promoting educational equity. Participants will work with learning partners to develop an anti-racist action plan to help them deepen their own understanding and to possibly also advocate for racial equity within their own circles of influence. This can include bringing a racial equity lens to their curricula and teaching. Participation will require a commitment of 32 hours of classroom time, plus 2-4 hours between sessions for reading and meeting with a learning partner.
