As we grapple with the urgency of Black Lives Matter and other movements to elevate historically marginalized communities, Ruchika Tulshyan explores a sensitive truth through compelling questions:

• How can people who are oppressed stop oppressing others?
• How can non-Black communities of color create awareness, advocacy and solidarity with Black and other historically marginalized communities?
• How can we decolonize ourselves to undo internalized white supremacy?
• How can we take an intersectional lens to equity and inclusion?

In this free workshop, Tulshyan guides participants through these questions and more. The workshop is open to all, replete with frameworks and tools to identify privilege, reduce internalized racism and stand in solidarity with other communities of color.
