Finding yourself in situations where people say or do things that make you cringe or shake your head? Feeling angry and uncomfortable, perhaps paralyzed in the moment? It happens at work, in classrooms, in the grocery store line, at family dinners, on social media and pretty much anywhere you can think of. We want to say or do something, but we don't always know how. Prepare yourself for a more effective and meaningful encounter. I believe the chances of us actually speaking up/acting to interrupt racism improves if we've thought about it, talked about it and practiced it, beforehand. Once we've also identified and overcome our inner obstacles and fears, the ability to intervene is greatly enhanced. Learn what to say & practice how to say it, using real-life scenarios. Come with a willingness to step out of your comfort zone and leave with more confidence to speak up when you're used to keeping quiet.
