Come and join us for a panel discussion with folks doing amazing work on racial justice in families, schools, and beyond:
- Tilman Smith - Racial Equity Educator, co-author of What's Up With White Women? Unpacking Sexism and White Privilege in Pursuit of Racial Justice
- Erin Jones - Education Equity Advocate, author of Bridges to Heal US: Stories and Strategies for Racial Healing
- Nick Terrones - Early Childhood Educator and host of the Napcast podcast, author of A Can of Worms: Fearless Conversations with Toddlers

- Moderated by Ilsa Govan - Racial Equity Educator, co-author of What's Up With White Women? Unpacking Sexism and White Privilege in Pursuit of Racial Justice
Stories are the fabric of our lives. They communicate things we're proud of - and things we wish had gone differently. They inspire us to imagine a world that isn't yet here, and provide motivation as we work toward creating it. They help us to make emotional connections with others who will want to join us on a journey of creativity, critical thinking, and compassion for others.
In this fun, thoughtful, interactive panel event you'll hear stories from our panelists about:
- Experiences in perpetuating and being on the receiving end of White supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism
- How we're working to dismantle White supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist systems - and the mistakes we've made along the way
- Concrete ways you can take action - in your personal and professional worlds
You'll leave the event with:
- Lots of stories to keep the concepts alive in your mind and to help you convey ideas to other people
- Strategies to use in dismantling harmful social forces through your interactions with family members (including children), friends, and colleagues
- A stack of books to help you continue your learning journey
