Workshopping Whiteness Series
a six-month peer learning group for white folks with Jen Willsea
March - September 2019
For people socialized as white, anti-racism must be a consistent, ongoing, self-focused practice. For anti-racism to become an integrated part of our lives, we need an (un)education, as well as a community of (similarly committed) white peers who we can lean on as we navigate challenging situations.
I have developed a peer coaching curriculum that will support a small group of white folks to come together monthly in Atlanta to learn, support, and challenge each other in addressing white supremacy, white fragility, white privilege and more. While I do not believe that white only spaces are the only or the primary way white folks learn, I do believe they can play an invaluable role in white peoples’ growth. This series is meant to supplement, not to take the place of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color)-led workshops about race and racism.
Participation in this program requires a commitment to attend six half-day, monthly sessions in person (1:00-5:00 p.m.):
Each session will include interactive content aligned with the topics listed above, as well as ample time for peer-to-peer coaching about specific situations participants bring to workshop.

Moving beyond familiar conversations about race and place with Mattice Haynes and Jen Willsea
Moving beyond familiar conversations about race and place with Mattice Haynes and Jen Willsea
The physical landscape of Atlanta continues to change rapidly and yet the racialized socio-economic landscape of persistent inequities remains the same. White people and wealthy people are reaping tremendous gains at the expense of poor people, black people and people of color who are disproportionately oppressed in this place we call home. Depending on your identities and social location in Atlanta, you may be feeling excited, unsettled, shocked, sad, afraid, relieved, included, displaced and/or other emotions.
Reckoning with a “Changing” Atlanta seeks to offer a multiracial, intergenerational space for participatory learning, storytelling, and reflection. Together we will co-create a more complete understanding of:
