Activating Allyship to Combat Anti-Black Racism

Our Twin Cities communities are hurting following the tragic killing of George Floyd. In this moment, it’s more important than ever to active meaningful allyship and to address anti-black racism. Join TCDIP and moderator Brandon Blakely for a conversation with Ritu Bhasin , an expert on equity, diversity and inclusion. During this program, you’ll have the opportunity to ask Ritu questions about how you can support diverse legal professionals and colleagues – Black professionals and colleagues in particular – and center your workplace around equity.

During the program, we will ask Ritu to talk about:

Key allyship concepts for the workplace in the face of racial injustice
The key pillars of being an effective ally, including an understanding of unconscious bias and systems of supremacy, power and privilege
How to create safe spaces for difficult discussions around racial bias
Critical behavioral changes that leaders, mentors, sponsors and team members must make in order to interrupt racial bias
Building resilience: why living in more of an embodied and mindful way is paramount for interrupting racial bias and how you can make this happen
Practical strategies for interrupting racial bias and better serving as an ally
