CBI in 2019 CommUNITYConversations In 2019 we continued our series of workshops, CommUNITY Conversations, which included: What Stands Between Us, Part 2 , where we used the work of Lee Mun Wah to have respectful conversations about race and racism.  A showing and discussion of The Latino List , a documentary made up of short, intimate interviews featuring people in the Latinx community who work in a diverse cross-section of disciplines from politics, theater, science, music, business, government and journalism.NCBI builds bridges in our community by facilitating conversations around identity issues. NCBI’s work reminds us that understanding people’s complex experiences is a lifelong pursuit and that we are better off when we try to empathize with people. – Eric Mora, Salinas Whites Working to End Racism , facilitated by Ann Todd Jealous, retired MFT, and Caroline Haskell, LCSW, to help participants who identify as white to deepen their skills for being an effective ally to members of targeted racial groups. |
