We’ll explore how anti-Blackness operates within POC communities and the ways it harms both groups.
Anti-Blackness is not a single moment in history; it is an enduring structure that continues to surface in policing, labor, media, migration, and even in how non-Black POC communities measure “success.” When immigration policies privilege proximity to whiteness, when colorism shapes our beauty standards, or when the “model-minority” myth is used to dismiss Black demands for justice, we are witnessing echoes of a centuries-old system. This workshop invites Asian, Latinx, Indigenous, MENA, Pacific Islander, and all other non-Black POC participants to trace those echoes from the past into the present and then transform them through practices of love and principled accountability inspired by bell hooks and adrienne maree brown.
During this 4-hour workshop, participants will reflect on internalized biases, explore the impact of anti-Blackness across communities, and develop actionable strategies to build solidarity while addressing unique dynamics of proximity to whiteness.
10 am - 2 pm PST; 1 pm - 5 pm EST.
