White women in management and supervisory roles are uniquely positioned to make a meaningful difference in advancing racial equity. Many of us are motivated by a genuine commitment to racial justice and a desire to grow our cross-cultural skills to better provide all employees, and especially employees of color, the guidance and opportunities they deserve.
This three-part Lunch and Learn series will support participants to deepen awareness of the presence and impact of institutional power, privilege, and stereotypes that white women leaders both navigate and perpetuate.
May 29th: A Power Analysis: Understanding White Women and Institutional Access.
This session invites us to examine how white women’s position in the hierarchy of institutional access lies between white men and People of Color.
June 5th: Naming our Patterns: Exploring White Women Leadership Personas.
This session invites participants in supervisory and management roles to engage in honest, constructive self-reflection about how their leadership patterns affect colleagues and staff of color.
June 12th: Compassion at Work: Cultivating Belonging Beyond Listening.
This session explores what compassionate leadership looks like when navigating the realities of racial difference, power, and trust in the workplace.
Facilitated by Ilsa Govan and Tilman Smith, co-authors of What's Up With White Women: Unpacking Sexism and Privilege in Pursuit of Racial Justice
All sessions are on Fridays from 12:00-1:00pm PT / 3:00-4:00pm ET
Each session is $25. Take 1, 2, or all!
