This December 6th, we will be holding a free online event. Our cohort will be there to dig into and share what these facilitated conversations entail and why we feel that doing this work is a critical practice required to build communities of enduring value.

We have these facilitated conversations not as a book club, but to process and deeply understand how white supremacy shapes every system, institution, and policy in our world, and truly inspecting and engaging with how we've interacted and benefited from such constructs over the course of our lives.

I shared some initial thoughts here as I started this journey.

I'd like to spend a moment reflecting on the participation side of this, because I am participating in this cohort led by Kim.
I just wrapped up the first live session of Mediocre with the participants in Facilitated Conversations with Kim Crayton, and I have to admit something: I didn’t expect to leave this session feeling hopeful.

This work is hard.

It is my way of slowly unraveling and unlearning these things that I took on that I can name.

It will take time for me to get to where I need to be. It is an ongoing, personal journey, but at the same time, it is for me to continue taking these steps within community in ways I chose not to throughout my life.
