Welcome to the Authentic Allyship Workshop
Hit "play" to see what you can expect
Current uprisings (in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic no less) have brought racial disparities, injustices against the Black community, and flaws in our current systems to the forefront. In the midst of this uncertainty, hope, fear, and change, each of us has to decide how we will show up.

Read MoreI strongly recommend Diana's Authentic Allyship Workshop. Not only were the two hours thought-provoking and inspiring, but so much of the value has been in the reflection afterwards. She opens up the door to so many important and personal questions that I'll be exploring on my own, and with friends, family, and other people in my community over time. I am so grateful to Diana for her expertise, leadership, and compassion. Don't miss this workshop!
Read LessThis course is for you if you've done all the "obvious" checklist items (e.g., added books by Black authors and/or about Black people to your reading list; updated your Netflix queue with all the "important" films and documentaries; posted your black square on Instagram with #blackouttuesday (and maybe even a brown fist emoji) to signal your support; scrolled through your phone to text Black colleagues, friends, and associates to see how they're doing) and now you're wondering what can (and should) you—a regular, everyday person—do moving forward. This course shows you the answer to your question of "what now?"
This course isn't for you if you're looking to learn any specific terminology or history related to the work and world of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Rather than a foundational course, this is an opportunity to begin integrating what you are learning into your day-to-day life so you can become the person you say you want to be.
You can expect a space to really process everything you've seen, read, and learned these last few months, to learn exactly where to focus your time and energy so that your commitment to anti-racism becomes part of your everyday life, and to gain strategies and tools to have these conversations with people in your life who may not "get it" yet.
