Disturbing the Peace: Annihilating Comfort to Advocate for Yourself

About the Workshop:

During this lunchtime session, attendees will learn to examine their personal relationship with comfort; understand how to disrupt a culture of complacency; and discover what a collective reimagining can do to propel them forward. 

Ché will guide the group through an exploration of discomfort through a lens that centers Black women. Participants will review Tema Okun's "Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture" and reflect on the ways these characteristics affect our sense of agency and autonomy at work and beyond.
