Hello readers!
Headline: We're back for our Spring Season. This season will be spent working through Tema Okun's White Supremacy Culture article. We're going to work through this together in real time, so there is no expectation that you will have already read the article. That being said, if you would like to build yourself a more robust foundation, we highly recommend reading the original article, exploring Okun's website, and checking out their recent update, "White Supremacy Culture: Still Here" from May 2021. Bonus thought: One great way to approach this work would be to print multiple copies of the articles and take notes directly on them, marking in different colors or with different writing tools as you work through it. Maybe you start with a pink highlighter and every time you notice yourself feeling defensive, you highlight that passage. Then during our first discussion, maybe you take notes in pencil. Come back with a different highlighter a month later and highlight new things that resonate with you, or which you don't understand. Keep layering this practice, moving on to fresh copies as needed. It's a great way to capture your thought process and see progress! Dates & Times: Thursdays 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. February 2 March 2 April 6 May 4 Logistics: We will have more housekeeping/organizational communications throughout this Spring season as we work to codify the leadership roles within Unpacking and as we work on expanding. We'll also be building up the resources and blog on our website this season, focusing on white supremacy culture. Stay tuned! Final thoughts: Please reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback. We can't wait to see you all in February. Best, The Unpacking Team
