BIPOC Solidarity and Unlearning White Supremacy Culture

As Black, Indigenous and people of color in philanthropy, you’ve likely witnessed in yourself and others’ actions and tendencies that uphold and perpetuate white dominant culture in the workplace. Rather than distancing activities or blaming mindsets, this session of EPIP’s people of color network will explore how we can build solidarity and greater trust with other BIPOC colleagues that can contribute to a more liberatory approach to our work. Join Yoo-Jin Kang for a two-hour guided dialogue and healing session where you will: gain perspective and clarity on internalized white supremacy characteristics, discuss what makes it challenging to name and confront these with other BIPOC colleagues and practice healing modalities for connecting with more liberatory visions for leadership and relationships. 

This session is tailored for EPIP members who identify as Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color.  This session will address the impact of racial trauma and burnout amongst BIPOC people in the workplace and address commonly shared experiences such as navigating imposter syndrome, navigating micro and macroaggressions, and healing from and disrupting internalized racism and white supremacy culture (in others and ourselves). Participants will gain tangible self-care tools and frameworks that can support burnout and racial trauma recovery, as well as tools for interrupting and transforming white supremacy characteristics in the workplace.
