Equity Work Is Burning You Out: Here’s Why

Description

We all know that white supremacy culture shapes all systems and institutions; none are immune to its influence. Yet many organizations unknowingly continue to perpetuate this system of oppression despite their professed dedication to dismantle it.

In this highly interactive workshop, we will invite attendees to identify how white supremacy characteristics shape organizational culture, leading to burnout and toxic work environments. Through small group discussions and self-reflection, you will discover how white supremacy culture affects you personally and creates an unsustainable approach to your work.

You’ll leave not only feeling equipped to create an organizational culture that is inclusive, equitable and promotes well-being, but also how to prevent burnout so that you can work for social change with sustained passion and energy for years to come.
