The Call-In-Cards for Anti-Black Racism Action: Beyond Anti-Black Racism Training to Transformational Action

This interactive workshop presents The Kit for Centering Black Youth Wellbeing, an online hub that takes a multi-faceted approach to addressing anti-Black racism and centering the wellbeing of Black youth, families, and communities. The Kit focuses on three areas: education (a bi-lingual comprehensive online anti-Black racism certificate), action (the interactive Call-In-Cards for Anti-Black Racism Action), and community engagement (a Community of Practice on the Virtual Café by YouthREX).

The Call-In-Cards foster dialogue by encouraging the identification of deep-seated assumptions, and the understanding of attitudes and values, without being ‘called out’. When we ‘call-in’, we invite ourselves and others into a genuine dialogue that draws attention to bias, prejudice, microaggressions, and other forms of discrimination to facilitate learning, growth, and change. These conversations require gracious spaces that are supportive and nonjudgmental – recognizing discomfort and accepting failure in the practice of inclusion. Most importantly, critical self-reflexivity is always an action-focused project, never still and only useful when followed by thoughtful, transformative action.

This session is offered in partnership with YouthREX.
