Description
In this session, presenters will discuss how to be in the correct posture as an ally and why this is essential to being in “right relationship” and actively anti-racist. The correct posture includes being humble, teachable and receptive, which may seem easy for white folks to achieve but can be difficult because so many have been profoundly and unknowingly shaped by white-supremacy culture. The correct posture is essential for moving to metanoia (repentance or complete change of heart). Presenters will provide concrete action steps and read from their books, Yolanda Denson-Byers’ See Me, Believe Me: A Guide to Deepen Allyship With Congregational Leaders of Color and Shari Seifert’s Ashes to Action: Finding Myself at the Intersection of the Minneapolis Uprising.
