A Long Overdue Conversation about Oppression and Privilege

This interactive session is intended to be a contribution to our learning in addressing oppression, and to empower hard conversations about oppression and privilege with ourselves, and the people in our lives. It is also meant to help us challenge the assumptions we make about one another based on our privileges. This session will focus on creating an opportunity for contained, guided listening & dialogue in discovering our own internalized systems & privileges – gaining perspective on others through vulnerable, open-hearted conversation.
