DLA has created a 5-part Series of healing dialogues that included a successful 2-day deep dive Virtual Conference that was just completed on October 29th and 30th. These dialogues are by no means meant to be all-inclusive, but will serve as a part of an overall wholistic solution and a positive approach to harnessing our collective energy. These workshops are designed to be a safe space and place to have difficult but meaningful, open and honest conversations that can become turning points and actionable items that ignite change. The goal of the dialogue series is to begin to cultivate a sustainable environment of inclusivity, diversity, equity and belonging.
PRIVILEGE
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Privilege : Unseen, Unacknowledged and Undermining Equity and Inclusion
In this workshop, participants will gain a broader impression of the breadth of differences that contribute to societal privilege. Through exploring common unproductive behaviors, often stemming from white privilege among others, participants will further understand the insidious nature of privilege, how it perpetuates systemic racism and oppression. With an introduction to Melia’s EMBRACE model, participants will take away a strategy for their own learning journey to advance social justice and practice more effective allyship.
