In the Racial Equity Training course, you will:

• Analyze concepts of racial identity, bias, privilege, and prejudice.
• Reflect on your own identity, bias, privilege, and prejudice.
• Identify strategies to engage in difficult conversations with your team members.
• Reflect on ways to integrate racial equity into your workplace culture.
• Learn about historical events, ideologies, and social structures, and how they influence modern day beliefs, bias, and perception.

Module One - What is the meaning of racial equity?

• Module 1 of Racial Equity in the Workplace Training will explore that question, and will unpack the relationship between historical events, institutional frameworks, the ideology of white supremacy, and how those things come together to construct the social norms, stereotypes, and bias which inform our perception and behavior.

Module 2 - Reflect: Racial Equity in the Workplace

• Identity, personal bias, white privilege, colorism, and prejudice. These are concepts that are not easy to talk about, and often bring up strong feelings, including anger, guilt, and denial. In Module 2 of Racial Equity in the Workplace Training, we are going to unpack them, reflect on how they impact you, and give you the tools to start making changes.

Module 3 - Evolve: Racial Equity in the Workplace

• Becoming committed to racial justice is a big step, and it is not a one-time decision. Being an ally means making decisions every day about whether you will stand up or stay silent.
• In Module 3 of Racial Equity in the Workplace Training, we will discuss how to be an ally, tone policing, emotional labor, and how to have difficult conversations with your team members.
