Sticks and Stones: From Hurting to Healing

No place is immune to hate, bias, and everyday bigotry. Is your school/organization ready to respond? What proactive measures can you be taking? How do we foster environments that resist hate and bias, and embrace belonging and mattering? With these questions as the backdrop, this conversation will explore hate/bias prevention and intervention efforts through a race explicit (not exclusive) lens. By leaning on the joys, challenges, successes, and missteps experienced across 15+ years of story-holding through her leadership on a Hate Response Team, Amanda will present a critical social justice framework to move us from hurting to healing, while pushing for an educational revolution that advances racial equity and justice.
