A TRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEY TOWARDS ANTI-RACISM
7:00 pm EST
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. Please email info@omapittsburgh.org if you have any questions. Thank you.
This 4-part workshop is intended to be a transformational journey towards anti-racism. As the facilitator, Anita Russell will guide participants on a deep dive into the concept of racism—historically, socially, and personally. The program is dedicated to the proposition that systemic racism is not spontaneously generated or self-created; rather it flows generationally from the hearts and minds of people; it flows from thoughts, ideas, and beliefs that undermine our value as human beings. The program is divided into a series of weekly workshops and forum discussions from October 8 through December 3, 2020.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
During the course of the program, delivered in a series of mastermind workshops, participants will explore four topical areas. Participants will ultimately create a plan for their own transformational journey towards anti-racism.
- The roots of systemic racism
- Transformational strategies
- Identity markers
- Change from within
