A Queer Endeavor's Educator Institute for Equity and Justice

Drawing from the racial healing work of Resmaa Menakem, this workshop will equip participants with concrete tools and steps to lean into the uncomfortable work of adopting anti-racist lenses, an ongoing, never-ending process. The worskhop will start with a grounding exercise, offer several frameworks (even checklists), and then participants will collaboratively learn how to turn the "dirty pain" and shame that often results from work around race into "clean pain" and opportunities for teaching as the practice of freedom. Participants will be invited to take what they have experienced and learned into their own classrooms and daily interactions...in the form of repeating the workshop, or leveraging key moments and valuable insights of their choosing.
