Podcasts about white supremacy culture

In der Podcastfolge ist Christoph Hassler zu Gast und spricht über selbstkritische und ermächtigende Potenziale in Bezug auf Machtstrukturen, die auch im Design hinterfragt werden sollten. Normative Designansätze, wie Universal Design und der Einfluss von Überwachungstechnologien wie KI auf gesellschaftliche Grundrechte werden vor dem Hintergrund komplexer Verstrickungen mit unserer kolonialen Vergangenheit hinterfragt. Durch die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Konzept der White Supremacy Culture und Ansätzen des Black Feminism macht Hassler Vorschläge, wie eigene Privilegien besser hinterfragt und in kollaborativen Teams mit der eigenen Positionalität gearbeitet werden kann.

Who are we outside of white supremacy culture? Perhaps the simple answer is healers, holders, stewards. Perhaps the simple answer is the people that refuse, repair and restore. And perhaps we don't have to go anywhere to learn these skills, perhaps the best teachers and stories are already embedded in our intuition and ancestry. Perhaps the stories they're whispering invite us into a culture with more bearable and breathe-able characteristics where perfectionism becomes improvisation, individualism becomes collectivism and “right to comfort” becomes “right to transformation”.

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we delve into cultural intelligence in the workplace with Shiva Roofeh, a self-described organizational justice practitioner and curious rebel. Discover how you can confront prejudice in leadership and uncover your unconscious biases to ultimately make you a better and more just leader. Shiva has been a refugee, an immigrant, and a migrant, and she's lived and worked in six countries across Asia, Europe, and North America. Shiva says that her lived experience is as valuable as her work experience. She leverages both to create mile-deep change and relationships with and for her clients. She's worked with Fortune 500 companies helping leaders be and do better by understanding their systemic collective and individual power so they can use it in service of the greater good.   Key Discussion Points: 06:08 Valuing Lived Experience in Corporate Spaces: Your lived experience is as valuable as your work experience. It provides you with a unique perspective that can inform your work. 10:18 Turning Passion into a Career: Start by examining your life and your resources and take small steps towards your goals. 15:31 White-Passing Privilege: As a white-passing individual, Shiva has come to understand the power and the privilege this gives her in different spaces. 22:30 Confronting Prejudice in Leadership: If a leader truly wants to help their team become as equitable as possible, it has to start with them. 29:05 Recognizing Unconscious Biases: In your journey of discovery, you have a chance to go back and reconcile with pieces of yourself that you can fix and heal to be better for others moving forward. 35:21 Equality, Equity, and Justice: Justice involves addressing systemic inequalities, rather than simply giving everyone resources to reach the same outcome.   In Summary: Shiva Roofeh reminds us that it is an honor and a privilege to lead people and impact their lives. She challenges us to remain curious when doing the work on ourselves even when we are triggered by our learnings.   Resources from this episode: White Supremacy Culture by Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun Follow Shiva on Linkedin or check out her website.   Connect with your hosts: Follow Archita on Linkedin or check out her website.

"Always have your sense of intrinsic worth separated from whatever is happening to you so that even in a storm, you can be a steady ship." -Mariana Pavia Mariana Pavia, Product Marketing Expert, shares her experience of reclaiming her career self-confidence to embrace her intrinsic worth during a difficult career phase, which took place during a difficult, bizarre phase of the job market. First Mariana shares her biggest lessons that began with her courageous leap into an Ivy League business school for her MBA, then her mismatched job experiences and management styles. All of which led to self-doubt and application rejections that shook her confidence. We discuss the process of managing dips in self-confidence when negative, external factors seem relentless, particularly during a tough job market in the tech industry. Mariana shares her insightful strategies, including therapy, reframing her experiences positively, and recognizing her value beyond external validations, coaching, and building specific career skills. We also explore the impact of class differences, opportunity gaps, and cultural differences that impact access, growth, and professional development. This episode underscores the importance of trusting your own brave career journey, even when the job market or specific positions don't, as well as the power of getting support to craft your own narrative. To all the courageous listeners striving in their careers: remember, your worth is intrinsic and unconnected to your professional phase. Hot topics from this episode:Mariana's career advice on maintaining awareness of one's value during tough timesThe Struggle With Negative Thoughts and techniques to live through them The difficulty of seeking external recognition with the importance of recognizing and valuing one's intrinsic worthThe process of moving away from brand-name identification, while acknowledging the power of brands to visibility and opportunities Societal Biases and Personal Anecdotes: class differences, privilege, affirmative action, white supremacy, misogyny and patriarchy in career growth ResourcesConnect with Mariana Pavia on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariana-pavia/Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life https://billderesiewicz.com/books/excellent-sheep/Paper that details the tenants of White Supremacy https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/inclusive-teaching/wp-content/uploads/sites/853/2021/12/Identifying-and-Addressing-Characteristics-of-White-Supremacy-Culture.pdf Overview of the US Supreme Court and 2023 Ruling about Affirmative Action https://www.npr.org/2023/06/29/1176715957/why-the-supreme-court-decision-on-affirmative-action-matters For more information on how you can build your brave:Nicole@tricksteinbach.comhttps://tricksteinbach.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoletricksteinbach/https://www.facebook.com/NicoleTrickSteinbach

I invited educator, writer, artist and activist Tema Okun (she/her) to talk with us about holiday traditions, rituals, and cultural appropriation. What she offered was deep wisdom from her personal life and decades of work as a DEI facilitator, author and professor. I hope this episode prompts reflection and provides encouragement to keep healing and growing. Tema Okun has spent over 35 years working with and for organizations, schools, and community-based institutions as a trainer, facilitator, teacher, and mentor focused on issues of racial justice and equity. She got her start at Grassroots Leadership. For 12 years she worked with the late and beloved Kenneth Jones at ChangeWork and then for another decade with Michelle Johnson and many brilliant colleagues at Dismantling Racism Works. She recently completed 6 years of co-leading the Teaching for Equity Fellows Program at Duke University, which works with faculty seeking to develop stronger skills both teaching about race and racism and across lines of race, class, and gender. She also facilitates and support leaders and organizations with colleagues at Teach.Equity.Now., housed at the Pauli Murray Center in Durham, NC. She was a member of the Educational Leadership faculty at National Louis University in Chicago and has taught undergraduate, master's, and doctoral level students in educational leadership and education. She is the author of the award-winning The Emperor Has No Clothes: Teaching About Race and Racism to People Who Don't Want to Know (2010, IAP) and the widely used article White Supremacy Culture, which she is asking people to stop using and instead reference a website based on a revision and update of the article in May 2021: www.whitesupremacyculture.info. She publishes regularly on the pedagogy of racial and social justice. She is a member of the Bhumisphara Sangha under the leadership of Lama Rod Owens and a participant in The Infinite Circle at Breadloaf Mountain Zen Center. She is an artist, a poet, and a writer. She lives in Carrboro, NC where she is fortunate to reside among beloved community. Her current project is deepening her ability to love her neighbor as herself. She is finding the instruction easy and the follow through challenging, given how we live in a culture that is afraid to help us do either or both.

What is white dominant culture? And white supremacy culture? And white supremacy? Although not new, these buzzwords stir a range of emotions, misconceptions, manipulations, and also create a contemplative space for accountability and awareness. In this episode, host Whitney Knox Lee engages in a thought-provoking and honest conversation with Kerrien Suarez, the president and CEO of Equity in the Center, to answer these questions and more. They delve into the concept of white dominant culture in the workplace and discuss the challenges of moving from complicity to actively dismantling systemic racism. They explore the importance of language, the weaponization of characteristics outlined in the article on white supremacy culture by Tema Okun, and the need to center the experiences of Black and Indigenous individuals in the fight for racial equity. Drawing on her own experience and the work of experts in the field (discussed in the April 2023 article How (Not) to Dismantle White Supremacy), Kerrien explains more about the weaponization of the characteristic of white supremacy culture, and particularly against Black organizational leaders. Both Whitney and Kerrien acknowledge times when they've fallen into this trap and discuss how this self-accountability can be a tool to drive the work forward. They discuss too the role that assimilation continues to play in professional spaces as people of color attempt to climb the ladder toward "success" and power. Listeners will gain valuable insights and tools for interrupting their own complicity, using their earned power, and working towards building a race equity culture. Kerrien highlights useful resources created and/or curated by Equity in the Center, including the (free) Awake to Woke to Work publication, the (free) newsletter (which also has employment opportunities!), and other research of EiC. Don't miss this enlightening and empowering season finale episode!Read the report Awake to Woke to Work: Building a Race Equity CultureLearn more about Kerrien and find all the resources at Equity in the Center's website.While on their webpage you will definitely want to subscribe to the EiC newsletter, but you can also stay connected on instagram and linkedin.Although this is the Season 1 finale, Whitney will be around.

Y'all, I'm gettin' REAL in this episode. We always talk about how anti-racism is a journey not a destination, and it's so important to take time to reflect on that journey. So in today's episode, I'm sharing part of my journey with you!  You may have heard of the Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture developed by Tema Okun. She is a white woman who has been doing DEI work for more than 30 years, and she developed this list of 15 characteristics of white supremacy culture in the early 1990s, but the list has sort of been revived since 2020. In this episode, I share the 15 characteristics and more about where they came from but I really zero in on two of them — perfectionism and a sense of urgency — to talk about how I've seen them playing out in my own life and use them as a reflection tool.  None of us is immune to white supremacy culture, and I'm no exception. I hope hearing me talk about my own journey gives you the chance to reflect on where you are in your anti-racism journey, including how far you've come and where you still want to go.   Invite Jasmine to work with your school!

This week, I'm joined by my new friend Nancy Gwyn, known as NCBLUDOT on Tiktok Nancy was born and raised in North Carolina but recently relocated to Atlanta with her partner Scott. She was a worship leader in the evangelical church for over 20 years and has been on the path of deconstruction and healing for 8 years. She is passionate about sharing the freedom that comes with deconstructing from the church as well as challenging other exvangelicals to seek deeper healing and education about how the church drives White Supremacy Culture and how all of that has effected our personalities and how we show up in the world.

This week on Season 4, episode 6 of That's SO EDVOLUTIONARY, we begin a mini-series on how play-based learning can help us start to alleviate many of the challenges we face in education today.   And to kick it off, we're starting with a big one: white supremacy culture.   If you haven't listened to last week's episode about the impact of the social environment on human behavior, you'll want to start there.  Because not only is it interesting... but this episode builds on top of it. Often, our lens on 'how the world works' is just "culture masquerading as nature," as anthropologist James Suzman says.   If we truly want our institutions to work for all the humans they are meant to serve, we need to better understand the culture driving our social environments that we take for granted as how the world works.  Only then can we fully see the barriers to our vision and make impactful shifts.

“White Supremacy Culture,” an article by Tema Okun, was first written to outline and analyze how white supremacy operates in organizations. But in the past few years, with renewed attention on the racial justice movement, the short article has been used as a weapon within progressive organizations and by the right. As organizational infighting continues, many have used the article as a way to claim that basic elements of organizational life — editing, performance reviews, deadlines, urgency, the written word, perfectionism, etc. — are actually all characteristics of white supremacy culture. This week on Deconstructed, Tema Okun joins host Ryan Grim to discuss her article, its evolution, and its misuse, speaking out for the first time against its weaponization. Okun breaks down the history of her article, how it has been used in ways she did not intend, and what the true intention of the piece is. join.theintercept.com/donate/now Hosted on Acast.

Whew! We talk about alllllll the things in this conversation! But the topic that is woven through the entirety is White Supremacy. Growing up, White Supremacy meant skinheads, extreme hate groups, Nazis...but the term means something different now. What exactly is White Supremacy and how is it showing up? How are we participating in it? How do we unravel it? Erin-Kate Escobar (they/them) is a DEI and anti-racist strategist and points out that when we engage in practices that center dominant norms we are often reinforcing the patriarchy and all the systems of oppression and harm that we are living in and under. This episode is going to expand your understanding on so many important topics. Thank you for being here, for learning, for sharing, and for making the world a better place!

Episode 76.   “… white supremacy mythology is so deeply embedded in the US culture… meaning images and stories on television and other places, and it's slippery and it's insidious and it's persistent.”Jill Nagle is an author, coach, facilitator, and founder of Evolutionary Workplace. Her aim is to help reduce harm to Black and Brown people, as well as support white people in liberating themselves from the effects of white supremacy's toxic mythology.Change is hard and when faced with it, it's human nature to ask, what's in it for me?  Many white people are likely asking that question and are afraid that dismantling racism is going to cost them something. That's exactly what Linda and Jill discuss:What is “white supremacy mythology?”How does blame, shame and guilt keep this mythology in place and, its effects on  ALL people? Understand the first step in helping to combat racism. Hint: It's all about us. Jill also tells a story about her Aunt Phyllis's antiracism work and how it influenced her to carry on her legacy.Jill is currently seeking representation for her book, Skin in the Game: How White People Benefit from Dismantling White Supremacy. She uses somatic tools to help leaders dismantle white supremacy and other ills from the inside out, which in turn helps us to become more whole. To contact Jill and learn more about her work, go to EvolutionaryWorkplace.com.What came up for you as a result of this conversation?  Let Linda know by going to Normal-Lies.com and leave a review.  Linda reads every one and every month, she chooses one review to read on air.  If you have a question or a topic you'd like addressed on an upcoming episode, go to Normal-Lies.com and click the contact page to send Linda a message.Be sure to follow Linda on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linked In.

It's 2022 Friendsgiving! Welcome to the Best Friend Weekend annual event… This year, our lil cousin Rumble Williams said grace and led off the pod by reminding everyone to be thankful during this holiday season (01:00) which led to us imploring you all to cherish these moments with family and friends (03:00). Next, we let you know what Burned Our Boudin this week including trash aux cord holders, again, (07:00), sporting events in other parts of the world (13:00), and kids being off of school the entire week (20:00). Some things we took some times to talk about were White Supremacy Culture (23:00), more mass shootings in the US (28:00), and August Alsina's announcement (37:00). The passing of one of the Power Rangers (40:00) led to our Big Three childhood TV shows (46:00) and an additional Big Three baby shows for our sons (52:00).

Drum roll, please… we are so excited to share this inspiring conversation with Michelle Cassandra Johnson and Tema Okun. From the very beginning of this podcast, we've named Michelle's work throughout and, of course, our longtime listeners will also recall our early interview with Michelle on episode 5 (linked below). Since that initial conversation, we've dreamt of having Michelle back on with her dear friend and colleague, Tema Okun. You might know Tema's name from the now-somewhat-famous-in-certain-circles resource, the Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture article (also linked below)—for many, a guiding document outlining the insidious ways white supremacy shows up in our cultural narratives, practices, and norms. Tema's work has been pivotal, for decades, and recently gained increased attention amidst the BLM uprising of 2020. As many white folks “go back to sleep” in the aftermath of that uprising, Tema's role as a decades-long facilitator of anti-racism work models something significant: what it looks like for white folks to show up over and over again, over long periods of time, and the practice of centering love, compassion, and humanity in our efforts to challenge and dismantle systemic and cultural racism.This conversation is an invitation to do just that—to stay in relationship, to understand our roles, and to work across lines of difference to create collective liberation.Tune in, ya'll.Tema and Michelle discuss…- Visions for the future of this work and reflections on its evolution- The importance of not leaving anyone behind- What it looks like for white folks to get out of the way- Challenging individualism and ego- The complexities of lineages, legacies, and accreditation in social justice praxis- Cross-difference relationship- Boundaries as a form of self and collective-care…and so much more…Connect with Michelle & Tema:Michelle's websiteMichelle's InstagramJoin Michelle on PatreonTema's websiteTema's InstagramTema's book, The Emperor Has No Clothes: Teaching About Race And Racism To People Who Don't Want To KnowResources Mentioned:ALL THE F*CK IN Episode 5: Remembering to Dream with Michelle C.

In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. Trigger warning as this episode does discuss acts of harm being committed against a Black woman. In this episode, Jill discusses her recent travel experience as she witnessed a Black woman being harassed by a flight attendant and eventually kicked off the airplane, for doing nothing wrong. She discusses the ways that racism, white supremacism culture, and bias all contributed to the woman being mistreated and harmed, and she also discusses ways that people of all identities can use whatever privilege they may have in order to stand with marginalized communities and individuals.

What was your relationship to food and body image like in college? Many clients report their disordered eating behaviors began or worsened during the college years. And many did not receive care or support during this time which is why, in part, they still struggle with food and body image today. What is the impact of diet culture on college students? In what ways does the college environment impact students from marginalized communities differently? Especially for those in bigger bodies who were routinely prescribed and praised for their (often harmful) weight loss efforts during the college years: what are ways you can heal from disordered eating, even years after you've graduated? In today's episode, Melissa interviews Dr. Hortencia Jimenéz, professor, sociologist, and health coach to discuss her perspectives on: What it means to consider eating disorders and anti-diet work from an anti-oppressive lens How generational diet trauma gets tangled up with college educational systems and environments How to make meaning of your own disordered eating behaviors during your college years so you can experience healing today 3 ways community care can impact and support individuals at risk for eating disorders and disordered eating in the college setting Episode Resources: Follow Dr. Hortencia Jimenéz on Instagram @drhortencajimenez Support Hortencia's work on Venmo with a donation: https://account.venmo.com/u/Hortencia-Jimenez-4 Read about White Supremacy Culture: https://www.dismantlingracism.org/uploads/4/3/5/7/43579015/okun_-_white_sup_culture.pdf Hortencia mentions the book “Decolonizing Wellness” by Dalia Kinsey - available on Amazon Join the Break the Diet Cycle Podcast Community: @break.the.diet.pod Connect with Melissa on Instagram: @no.more.guilt This episode was sponsored by No More Guilt with Melissa Landry Get the 3 Steps to Eat without Guilt Guide: https://mailchi.mp/d9207e0baf90/nomoreguiltguide Want coaching support for a life of No More Guilt?

"If we're trying to get out of violent culture we have to figure out how to not be so violent ourselves when we're trying to do some good." Let's talk about community, conflict, and cancel culture. In our earliest form as humans, we had communities, villages, and tribes numbering just a few hundred people that we would have known for most of our lives. The village has gone digital in 2022, which makes conflicts more common and means managing hundreds or even thousands of friends, followers, and strangers. It's no wonder the comment section gets contentious! Join me and Sarah Dixon in this great interview where we talk about the evolution of community; how, when, and why to call people out (or "in") for harmful behavior; how to promote good allyship without being white saviors; and the generational divide in online communication. Plus, Lilith and cops. As an artist, facilitator and coach, Sarah Dixon's work supports individuals, communities and institutions to evolve and adapt, creating a more inclusive, healthier and equitable future for us and generations to come. Her approach is deeply relational, exploratory and responsive. It gives us the opportunity to do profound and meaningful work on the themes and patterns that affect us all, in a curious, playful and creative way. Get in touch with Sarah at SarahDixon.studio and on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn!

In this episode of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, host and dietitian supervisor Jess Serdikoff Romola addresses a frustration that has been coming up for many of the dietitians in her supervision programs - the idea that there is "one right way" to do...pretty much anything, as a dietitian. From coaches touting their Proven Frameworks that we follow diligently to build the business of our dreams only to feel disappointed or disconnected, to being tempted by promotions because they're "the next logical step" in your career even when they don't align with your personal values and goals...there are so many ways that dietitians forgo their intuition and individuality for the sake of what they think they "should" do. This episode pulls back the curtain on why this is so common, and what we can be doing instead.

They did not think of him as a Racist. Pelonero continues to sympathize with this psychopathic serial killer, insisting that the media immediately castigated and convicted him as a Racist killer. She also finds fault with journalists reminding readers that Christopher dropped out of high school - something routinely done with black victims of violent crime.

Do you prioritize thoughts and ideas over sensing and feeling?  Do you delay putting yourself or your creative work out there because you're obsessing over the details? Do you engage in sex without love? Much of what you experience as personal can actually be traced back to the collective trauma of whyte supremacy. Riffing off of Jones and Okun's (2001) article on white supremacy culture and adding to it my own anecdotal experiences as a mixed race, trauma-informed somatic practitioner and psychologist who grew up within a colonial context, I offer my insights on the embodiment of whyte culture and antidotes to releasing your attachment to it. In this episode, I tackle how urgency, relationship with discomfort, perfectionism, function over feeling, all or nothing thinking, and fear of conflict show up in your everyday life. Perhaps most importantly, though, I address the separation of head and body (Descartes' mind-body dualism) as well as the heart-pelvic split (collective religious trauma) that can be healed by walking the path of the sacred whore.

Jess Serdikoff Romola, dietitian supervisor and host of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, explores one of the true root causes of dietitian burnout: white supremacy culture. What IS white supremacy culture? What are the values, or characteristics, associated with it? How do those characteristics influence burnout culture in the field? This conversation may feel uncomfortable, and may seem to be taboo, but it is a crucial path to having any hope of ending burnout within dietetics, for good.

Welcome to the season finale of Diversity & Inclusion: Revolution or Reform?  Today's episode is a very special conversation around dismantling White Supremacy culture with Tema Okun, author of the original and groundbreaking article “White Supremacy Culture” in 1999. Join us for this important conversation about White Supremacy Culture, its complexities, and the work needed to dismantle it. It was truly an honor to have Tema as a guest and we want to extend our gratitude to her for her lifelong commitment to this work. Guest BioTema was born into an upper-middle-class family, her father the son of first-generation Jewish immigrants escaping the pogroms in Belarus and her mother the daughter of a postal clerk father and housewife mother, both with immigrant roots in Scotland or Ireland. She grew up in a very small town in Texas. Her father was a college professor in an elite Southern college town and her mother worked on and off in the public schools. Tema grew up during the last years of Jim Crow and the first years of school desegregation, both enactments of violent white supremacy and racism. Her parents were liberals in the best sense of the word and very active in the local Civil Rights Movement. Tema is cisgender, currently able-bodied, upper class, older, and sometimes an elder.​(from Tema):“I have lots of so-called credentials - degrees and a book and articles and poetry and art and curriculum and talks and speeches and teaching and consulting and mentoring and ... my hope is you would care more about my heart than anything. I am conditioned to be fearful while determined to be open-hearted and I live in that ongoing tension each day with as much grace and humor as I can muster. I am deeply puzzled by why and how we seem to value profit over people and why and how we base our belonging on who we can keep out rather than who we welcome in. And by we, I mean our culture, our white supremacy capitalist patriarchal ableist heteronormative fool of a culture. I am deeply moved by how so many of us do all in our power to refuse the invitation into such toxicity and I admire both up close and from afar all engaged in the solidarity effort to live into the world we all want and deserve. I am lucky beyond words to be well-loved by a community of people, which is why I have any kind of open heart at all. I aspire to remember every day that I love you as I love myself, and we all know, or most of us do, what a struggle it can be to love ourselves well. Learning to love well is my current project. Thank you, thank you for all you are and do.”Connect with Tema and her workhttps://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/Dismantlingracism.orgLearn more about our work:Email: revolutionorreform@gmail.comConnie's Instagram: @and.now.collectiveConnie's Work: and-now-collective.comDavid's Instagram: @amplify.rjDavid's Work: amplifyrj.comListen and follow the podcast on all major platforms:Apple PodcastsSpotifyStitcherClick h

Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they talk about how we might go about normalizing conversations about race. Instead of making conversations about race an event, a professional development session, or a courageous conversations, can't we just make these conversations as normal as talking about the weather? It's not that simple and we aren't being flippant, but conversations about race, until race isn't an issue in our society, should not have be events. The should just be. How many conversations about race are you having in your life?Support the show (https://cash.app/$blackblondepod)

Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss the triggering topic of white supremacy culture. We ask our listeners to really think about the ways they participate in, most likely unintentionally, the white supremacy culture. This culture shows up in our work, schools, media, medicine - everywhere. We are often blind to it and don't step back to think about the ways in which we are a part of it.  Most of this episode was triggered by an article from the Minnesota Historical Society on White Supremacy.

Episode 24.  We are all born into this society, however, we aren't  born into a society that is equal for all.  According to Dr. Tema Okun, we are born into a white supremacy culture.  In this episode, Linda  shares the work and words  of Dr. Tema Okun from her website whitesupremacyculture.info. What is the history of white supremacy culture? What is its impact on ALL people? What is intersectionality? These questions are answered along with Dr. Okun's thoughts about "source" or "divine" or whatever you choose to call your higher power. Dr. Okun has spent over 30 years working with and for organizations, schools, and community-based institutions as a trainer, facilitator, teacher, and mentor focused on issues of racial justice and equity. For 12 years she worked with the late and beloved Kenneth Jones at ChangeWork and then for another decade with Michelle Johnson and many brilliant colleagues at DismantlingRacismWorks. Dr. Okun currently co-leads the Teaching for Equity Fellows Program at Duke University, which works with faculty seeking to develop stronger skills both teaching about race and racism and across lines of race, class, and gender. She is the author of the award-winning The Emperor Has No Clothes: Teaching About Race and Racism to People Who Don't Want to Know (2010, IAP) and the widely used article White Supremacy Culture.
