Through engaging and interactive exercises, participants learn strategies and tips on how to successfully present sensitive information to a wide audience of learners.

Equity Leaders with Dr. Caprice Hollins & Ilsa Govan
March 12 & 13 at 8:30-12:00pm PT on Zoom
This workshop provides an opportunity for equity leaders to share strategies for organizational change, problem solve some of the challenges they face, and to network. Facilitators Caprice Hollins & Ilsa Govan will share a model of multicultural organizational development and strategies for change we’ve identified over the past fifteen years in our work with hundreds of organizations.
White Women's Leadership Lunch & Learns with Ilsa Govan & Tilman Smith
Fridays, May 29, June 5, 12 at 12:00-1:00pm PT on Zoom
During this lunch and learn series, we will explore topics on our minds and hearts today as we think about the role of white women's leadership in promoting racial justice.
Unpacking Sexism and White Privilege in Pursuit of Racial Justice with Ilsa Govan & Tilman Smith
July 9 & 10 at 9:00-3:30pm PT In-Person
While white women face experiences of gender oppression, we also benefit from white privilege. In what ways do these two phenomena work together to create misunderstandings, missed collaborations, and acts of supremacy? In this workshop, we use a developmental model to examine how our identities change as we grow in our understanding of personal and institutional oppression. We look into our learned patterns of behavior and practice strategies to better collaborate in multicultural settings.
