Do You Know Your Next Step for Addressing Racism Within Your Organization and Community?

To address racism, we need to learn new ways that facilitate change within ourselves, others and the systems we influence so that together we can create a sustainable, connected and diverse world.

There is no better time than NOW!

Learn New Ways to Address Racism

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” ~ Albert Einstein

You might feel powerless when you witness or experience racist attitudes or behaviours.

  • How many times have you heard a joke or statement that was derogatory or had racist overtures but you were not sure how to address it?
  • Have you felt rattled, uncomfortable or intimidated by someone’s treatment of another individual?  
  • Have you found yourself saying in your head, “That is not okay!” or “Someone ought to do something!” but you struggle to say the words aloud?
  • Sometimes you witness racism as a bystander and don’t know what to do, what to say or how to handle it.
  • Other times you recognize your own bias and feel ashamed, not knowing how to address it.
  • There may be times where you are the target of racism, and you are looking for a fresh approach that preserves your dignity and facilitates change.

And the problem only worsens...

...when systems and policies aid and abet the behaviour through minimization, denials or quick fixes. 

Employees can feel so disheartened, disempowered and unsupported when the workplace culture, leadership or system allows these behaviours to exist and continue.

When racism is not dealt with effectively...

  • The stress wreaks havoc in our families, workplaces and communities.
  • We lose good people who leave because of unsafe workplace cultures.
  • We waste time, reduce our effectivness and relationships are damaged.
  • Collaboration is replaced with fragmented and divided teams.
  • Conflict becomes more deeply rooted and protracted (which translates to “much more difficult to resolve”).

Sound familiar?

The only way forward is to address racism fully.

Nelson Mandela | anti-apartheid activist and leader

...however hard the battle will be, we will not surrender. Whatever the time it will take, we will not tire. The very fact that racism degrades both the perpetrator and the victim commands that, if we are true to our commitment to protect human dignity, we fight on until victory is achieved.

Nelson Mandela - anti-apartheid activist and leader

Nancy McRitchie
Executive Director, Urban Horse Project Society

“

I am feeling more confident and skilled in bringing this anti-racism work to my team.

Thanks to attending Addressing Racism From the Inside Out, I came away feeling the impacts of 3 important ideas: a) my knowledge that racism divides and hurts us all, b) my discomfort and then relief in acknowledging one of my unconscious biases, and c) my gratitude for Jessie’s teaching around compassion and providing soft landings.

I particularly appreciated Dr. Roberta Hunte's honesty at the pain she experienced and her thoughts on what white people can and need to do. I also really valued the combination of Jessie Sutherland’s kindness and her challenge / push for change and accountability. She helped us connect with each other, across differences, without pushing anyone out. Thanks to her facilitating style, my experiences included senses of safety, respect and honesty.

The Addressing Racism workbook is very well organized and visually well set up to help me reflect on experiences and consider next steps. It is strength-based, with a building blocks approach. I also look forward to accessing further learning resources and the Community of Practice support calls.

Overall, I am feeling more confident and skilled in bringing this anti-racism work to my team.

...tools and a perspective to empower yourself and the people around you...

The Belonging Matters approach is an ever-relevant process in the multicultural, diverse world we are living in. It provides you with tools and a perspective to empower yourself and the people around you to create spaces where we can all be our full selves and feel welcomed.

As an approach, the framework gives value to the input that each person involved in the process has to offer and gives every person's voice the same value. From its design, the framework has a horizontal approach that helps people to experience what a community of belonging feels like. I would recommend Belonging Matters to people who struggle with their own sense of belonging as well as to teams and groups who want to build a common space where their needs are met and identities are honored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is racism?

There are many definitions to describe racism. My favourite is by Ibram X. Kendi: “Racism is a marriage of racist policies and racist ideas that produces and normalizes racial inequities… Racial inequity is when two or more groups are not standing on approximately equal footing… A racial policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial inequity between racial groups… A racial idea is any idea that suggests one racial group is inferior to another racial group in any way" (p. 17-18, How to Be an Antiracist).

What are the differences among racism, prejudice, and discrimination?

I like how Robin Diangelo differentiates among these three terms. She writes: “Prejudice is prejudgment about another person based on the social group to which that person belongs… Discrimination is action based on that prejudice… Racism...occurs when a racial group’s prejudice is backed by legal authority and institutional control” (p. 19-21, White Fragility: Why It’s Hard for White People To talk About Racism).

Why does addressing racism matter?

Racism is one of the fastest ways to erode belonging. Racism impacts the health and well-being of people, workplaces and communities. When we understand that racism is part of an interconnected system, we can begin to work together to transform these systems of exclusion into cultures of belonging. This means influencing both people and systems. Not only is addressing racism the right thing to do, it is an imperative in our rapidly changing world. When we address racism and build a culture of belonging in our families, workplaces and communities, we can harness all our strengths and talents so that we can generate the collaboration and innovation the world needs now more than ever.

What are reflective learning practices?

Reflective learning practices can be a powerful tool to internalize principles, values and practices, and respond in an agile way to emerging challenges and opportunities inherent in addressing a complex social issue like racism. Addressing racism is not a one-time event, but rather an ongoing practice of reflection and focused action. Experience doesn’t teach us, but reflecting on our experience does.

How will I be able to use the information and skills I learn?

You will learn how to address racism within yourself, your workplace and community.

Can I access the recordings offline?

You'll have access through the membership site to download Part 1-3 video files, audio files, and all PDF materials for permanent access on your own computer.

What if I have questions about the training content?

When you register, you’ll have access to a 3-month bonus of Community of Practice calls. Collect any questions you have from the trainings and bring them to the call for us to discuss and provide support.

I still have questions... Can I talk to someone?

Yes, we’d love to connect! Please reach out to us HERE or email us directly: [email protected]

Addressing Racism From the Inside Out is an essential skill set when working to address any given social or environmental problem. Racism erodes trust and is part and parcel of systems and relationships of exclusion. When we learn how to address racism and bias within ourselves and the systems we influence, as bystanders, and as targets, we become part of the solution to building cultures of belonging.
