The recent racial uprising has made us all aware of the extent of racism around us. More of us, especially the younger generation, are now willing to talk about race and find collective ways to combat systemic racism. But these conversations are not easy, and we may not even be comfortable talking about race, because we were never taught how to.
However, these conversations are crucial to bring about a systemic change. We invite you to our first Classroom Convos, a youth workshop that will guide you on talking about race, especially with Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Participants will be able to reflect on their challenges and discomforts with talking about race and racism, and will leave with concrete strategies to increase their influence and sustainability.
Speakers:
- Maulik Pancholy, actor, author & co-founder of Act To Change
- Richard Leong, leadership development coach & board member of Act To Change
