Virtual

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.

"The opportunity to lead alongside Nanette Massey, who has been conducting workshops based on my work for several years now, was inspiring. Together, we could offer a more complete analysis of the dynamic, speaking to 'both sides' of the White Fragility coin: the giver and the receiver.  Nanette does a masterful job of taking concepts that can be abstract and showing how they function in everyday life.  I recommend that any one who cares about gaining a deeper understanding of systemic racism and each of our roles within it take one of Nanette's courses."
