You’re invited to our next educational session taking place virtually, on the last Wednesday of this Month of May!

Self-reflection and actionable personal growth are key elements to deconstructing oppressive forces in our daily lives. This discussion-based workshop will introduce participants to prevalent characteristics of white supremacy culture that show up and persist within our professional structures and environments. Resources for further introspection related to personal dismantling and decolonization of the way we look at and perform professionalism will be provided.
