Anti-Racism Workshop
Sunday, June 25 at 11:30, 90 mins
(Click here to add this event to your personal Google calendar)
Being actively anti-racist means making a commitment to a lifelong journey of learning and unlearning. Yet, for a multitude of parents, guardians, and caregivers, questions often arise surrounding when that journey should begin and how do you appropriately broach the subject of race and racism with children of all ages.
If you have asked yourself these questions, and wrestled with wanting to address this deeply important topic the “right way”, this is the workshop for you!
Join writer, speaker, activist and anti-racism educator, Patricia A. Taylor, as she shares tools, resources, real-time examples, and practical applications that will leave you feeling equipped and ready to start and continue these conversations in your home in a meaningful way.
It’s not a question of if, but when, and the right time is always now!
