White Accountability Learning Series

Tailored, relationship-centered learning spaces for white people who believe that in order to transform the world, we must transform ourselves.

I lovingly challenge white leaders to unlearn their ingrained, harmful habits and behaviors so they can move into action, accountability, and allyship within their organization and the world.

“We spend all of our time resisting white supremacy, fighting racism, confronting patriarchy, deconstructing capitalism, challenging oppressive systems, and very little time creating belonging, cultivating healing, inventing new systems, designing our future… Trust, vision, wholeness, humane relationships, and hope are the real lifeline of movement building. This means working on self-transformation, healing, hopefulness, and cultivating a vision of possibility.”

— Shawn A. Ginwright, PhD, American social scientist and author, The Four Pivots

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Upending white supremacy requires community. When white people lean on people of color to educate them, it causes further harm and perpetuates the very system we are trying to change.

  • We adapt the series to the needs of the group, but require at least two sessions with an opportunity to practice applying concepts in real life experiences. Modules can be on zoom or in person.

  • For organizations, it’s important that your leadership is supportive, and that any person participating is willing to be honest, uncomfortable, and courageous.

  • If you are a white person willing to engage with courage, curiosity, and candor —in relationship with other white people —through ongoing practice, then this is for you.

  • In most cases, we ask to meet with multiple participants during the design stage, as well as understand any organizational data impacting equity in engagement, retention, and overall employee experience.

  • Yes. Our expectation is that the participants remain in community, committing in praxis to unlearning behaviors and making systemic change.

  • It depends on a number of factors, including the number of participants, organizational budget, and the number of modules. Reach out and let’s discuss!
