With black workshop facilitator Nanette D. Massey of Buffalo, N.Y., this is your chance to contextualize race from an unfiltered, real world experience rather than theory. With Nanette’s hallmark frankness and practicality, you’ll be left with self-clarity and the ability to act on racism within your own personal spheres of influence with genuine confidence, humor, and humility.
“But I’m not racist,” you say as a white nurse. Still, you work in an industry where appallingly unequal outcomes for white people and others are happening–and normalized. WHO ARE YOU BEING beyond “it didn’t happen on my floor/shift/watch so my hands are clean”? Further, who could you be to make a difference in the dire statistics of our unequal outcomes? To make a difference in the experience of your non-white colleagues?
- Dr. Robin DiAngelo, whose book White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism spent over three years on the New York Times Bestseller list, will join us on Saturday 1/13 and will be taking your questions.
- Dr. Willie Underwood, Chairman of the AMA, will be our guest speaker Saturday 1/20 and taking your questions.
- Dr. Stephen C. Nelson (retired), Health Equity consultant for the NIH STORM Sickle Cell Grant, and former director of the Sickle Cell Clinic at Children’s Minnesota Hospital weighs in with us on Saturday 1/27.
