Countering racism is a complex challenge. There are a lot of factors at play - from individual to group to systemic factors. The topics here reflect that range and address specific critical topics.
Some, like being a recovering racist, are personal. Some, like the five chapters in the story of racism, are systemic (and historical). Some are a combination, such as White privilege. And some are organizational, like the challenge facing the C-Suite.
“A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.”
