Racism is a system that is difficult to understand and therefore difficult to undo. Racial Affinity Groups support us in clarifying and connecting the dots between our individual experiences in relationship to our collective roles as racialized beings inside institutions and systems. With a racial affinity group in an anti-racist context, a committed group is focused on working with members of one’s own racial identity to examine one’s role in upholding White supremacy. These community reflective spaces support individuals in discovering and making connections between their shared experiences by bringing collective patterns of racialized behavior into awareness.

In this 6-part series, spanning 3-months, we will center, build, and internalize anti-racist foundations, while examining the role of racial affinity groups in organizing for systemic and institutional transformation. Through our time, we will both explore the history and purpose of racial affinity groups, the pitfalls and barriers, and participate in a variety of reflective modalities to discover the power and healing that is available through this intimate community practice. There will be readings, reflection questions, and/or community engagement assignments between each class. This workshop is open to practitioners of all racialized identities and will be taught through an intersectional lens.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Define, describe, and understand the purpose of a racial affinity group
• Identify one’s own individual and collective racialized patterns of relational behavior
• Make clear connections between our personal and collective roles in upholding and responsibility for undoing institutional and systemic oppression
