Grieving White Privilege

Grief extends beyond concrete, past, or present loss; it includes the fear of future loss.

​

This workshop supports people with racial privilege in understanding the inherent grief that comes with loss—specifically when losing privilege for the sake of equity.

​

Many White Americans express a desire for equity, yet they haven’t come to terms with what they must lose and grieve for others to finally experience freedom.

​

The truth is, when discussing equity, individuals who have benefited from privilege have much to lose, meaning they have much to grieve.

​

Both the New York Times and Harvard Business Review have revealed that typical DE&I efforts spark anger and resentment in White employees. Subconscious fear of loss often underlies this unspecified anger.

​

Recognizing and moving through Elemental Grief™ tied to losing one’s norm so that Black people can experience safety, joy, financial security, unbiased medical treatment, and equitable access to education is necessary to actualize equity.

Aspiring to fail: unlocking the key to success

A recent study shared by the Los Angeles Times showed that ⅓ of the American population is “plagued” by fear of failure.
 

Fear of failure is one of the leading causes of anti-racist workshop opposition and disengagement.

Willingness to fail is necessary for innovation and success, from exceeding business goals to fundamentally changing racist structures. Most people don’t realize how fear of failure is tied to fear of loss–of relationships, respect, opportunity, and more.  

​

This workshop inspires participants to embrace failure by seeing it as a step forward, not a fall.

Beyond Anti-racism: redesigning human identities

The New York Times wrote an article stating that many DE&I programs cause more harm than good by fostering an “us” vs. “them” mentality.

Humans have sought to oppress each other throughout time. When systemic racism and White Supremacy are dismantled, another system will take its place. DE&I isn’t just about cognitive awareness of racism’s current impact or understanding America’s history of systemic oppression. The foundation of all forms of discrimination is fundamentally a human issue that spans beyond current conversations, across time.

While many DE&I trainings focus on dismantling systemic racism, it is equally important to intentionally build new frameworks to replace the old in order to prevent another oppressive system from taking its place.

This workshop focuses on redesigning cultural identities at their core. Participants will re-learn how they view themselves and other people, which sets the foundation to creating equitable relationships.
