Tricia Rose: Way out of No Way: Systemic Racism and Resilience Wksp 4

Please join us on Friday, December 5th from 10:00am - 1:00pm ET on Zoom for the last workshop with Tricia Rose.

This powerful and participatory workshop series explores how systemic racism continues to shape the lives, choices, and opportunities of Black people in America. Through topical presentations, dynamic discussions, hands-on activities, and creative reflection, we’ll use systems thinking to better understand the root causes of racial inequity and identify leverage points for meaningful change.
Together, we’ll also honor and learn from the enduring legacy of African American imagination, resilience, and collective vision—centering the creativity and freedom-dreaming that have always shown us how to make a way outta no way.

Whether you’re new to these conversations or deep in the work, this space invites you to reflect, connect, and move forward with greater insight, intention, and hope.
