Living in Empathy Work Group
White folks.
Do you ever think, “I don’t want to be labeled a Becky or Karen.”
If you’re asking yourself lately - I hate seeing Black people killed, but what can I do about it?
Do you feel sick with emotion when you see Black mothers grieving their children repeatedly, but don’t know how to help? This group is for you.
People of Color.
Do you have friends asking you to do emotional labor around race, but don’t want to anymore?
Send them to this group.
Join us for a series where White people can get real about race in a safe space. White people have work to do, but many spaces do not allow for real, raw dialogue. Let’s stop talking in theory/jargon/uproar and get real about race in every day terms. This will be a shame free, vulnerable space to do the work.
safe space for White people in Illinois to have honest, vulnerable conversations about race and do the work
