A Long Talk

 

A Long Talk About The Uncomfortable Truth is a 21-day anti-racism activation experience designed to empower participants with knowledge and skills to combat racism in their daily lives. Our program features pre-work on racism's history and impact, followed by two, 2-hour group discussion sessions. The experience utilizes interactive large and small group conversations. We provide ongoing community support to foster continued growth and engagement in anti-racism efforts.
