About Nanette

I am Nanette, a writer currently living in Buffalo, N.Y., USA. I never wanted to be a “black writer.” People only call Van Jones or Ta-Nehisi Coates when all hell breaks loose involving black people. But you know, Van Jones graduated from Yale Law School, was once voted among the 12 Most Creative Minds On Earth, and was tight friends with The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. I’ll bet he could hold court most magnificently for hours on an ocean of topics other than race. I dreaded becoming pigeon-holed to that subject as a writer and speaker…

About The Workshop...​

Nanette facilitates a three and a half hour in-person workshop based on the book White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism by renowned author Robin DiAngelo. With frankness and practicality, audiences will be left with self-clarity and the ability to meaningfully contribute to dialogue and action within their spheres of influence.

Webinars: "Beyond the White Echo Chamber"

TBD: Subscribe Below For Updates

The book White Fragility has become a cultural touchstone for our time. Most white people, though, report having no regular contact with non-white people and can only discuss race in an “echo chamber” of other white frames of reference.

Internet webinar technology to the rescue!

With black workshop facilitator Nanette D. Massey of Buffalo, N.Y., this is your chance to contextualize race from an unfiltered, real world experience rather than theory. With frankness and practicality, Massey’s goal is to leave audiences with self-clarity and the ability to participate in conversations within their own personal spheres of influence with genuine confidence, humor, and humility. From there you can stop asking “what should I do?” and move beyond inertia to real actions that make a real difference.
