It's ok not to know... at first. It's ok to be afraid. Becoming an anti-racist is a journey that involves a lot of self inquiry and exploration so that you can navigate the multiple truths of power and privilege. It requires humility and willingness to stretch past your comfort zone. Challenge the conditioning that we all learn from living in the United States. Becoming an anti-racist applies to all white people as well as BIPOC (black, indigenous, brown, and asian~ people of color) individuals and clinicians. BIPOC individuals can also not have an anti-racist perspective because they have internalized the racism of the larger society. Below is an image I use often in workshops to talk about the many identities we bring into spaces whether we are talking about it or not. There is a hierarchy in our society and those closer to the center have proximity to the resources and advantages of being at the top of the hierarchy.

No one is born racist or antiracist; these result from the choices we make. Being antiracist results from a conscious decision to make frequent, consistent, equitable choices daily. These choices require ongoing self-awareness and self-reflection as we move through life. In the absence of making antiracist choices, we (un)consciously uphold aspects of white supremacy, white-dominant culture, and unequal institutions and society. Being racist or antiracist is not about who you are; it is about what you do. ~Smithsonian African American museum

Words from current member:
I really value how this space has helped me learn how to be more present in my body when discussing difficult, painful topics like racism. Prior to this group, I think I only allowed myself to engage with antiracism work in an intellectual way, which kept me safe and emphasized my reliance and internalization of white-centric, patriarchal values that prioritize one way of knowing over another. If I felt my emotions when discussing these topics before, I was quick to shut down/freeze; go inside myself with the overwhelm. I’m so grateful to be increasing my capacity to stay present and embodied when discussing difficult things. And being able to do all that in community is healing, and I think makes me a better antiracist co-conspirator. Thank you.- GF

Where do you still need to learn, heal, awaken? Why not do it in community?

Next Continuing Education series will begin in September called "Race Talk: Exploring ourselves as racial beings, intersectionality and liberation" and will continue through spring of 2027. Great way to connect and deepen racial literacy, fluency and agility over time and discuss times we are living in. Included in standard membership. CEs available through NASW-NJ and NBCC. Ask Dr. Nathalie for details. Monthly group typically meets the first Wednesday of the month at 7 pm EST for 90 minutes and third Friday of the month at 1 pm EST for 60 minutes.
Learning Objectives for monthly series that runs from September 2026 to May 2027:
This workshop series will explore the intergenerational legacy of interlocking systems of oppression (modernity) and white settler colonialism. The goal is not only to build racial literacy, fluency and agility as well as somatic resources for working towards decolonization and liberation strategies. We will identify elements of fascism, white settler colonialism, intersectionality that centers racism, wounds of oppression and how that trauma lives in our bodies and creates strategies for survival and disembodiment. We will explore strategies for decolonizing and the difference between soft reform, radical reform and abolitionist strategies. The focus will be on mindfulness, self-interrogation, embodiment, balancing compassion and accountability, befriending rage and increasing one’s window of tolerance for making changes in your circle of influence.
Skills from Dr. Nathalie’s book “Mindful Race Talk: Building literacy, fluency and agility” will be integrated.
Social workers will receive 6 credits of clinical/cultural competency continuing education hours for participating in this course.
NBCC hours for every .5 hours attended during series. ACEP approved (7364).
