ANNUAL

Antiracism Activation Summit 2023

DAY 1
Antiracism Activation Requires Action

It is not a trickle down phenomena driven by the hierarchy of a few. Rather it is a trickle up transformation catalyzed by the grassroots efforts of many. We are resilient in the struggle to eradicate racism and empower antiracism activation. We are unrelenting in our quest for social, health and economic equity. We are unyielding in the pursuit of justice.

Personal Transformation As a Revolution of One

The first revolution is when you change your mind. — Gil Scott Heron

Why I Created the Summit

To speak in the vernacular of Dr Rachel Knox, MD, MBA, I see personal transformation in a racialized society as the revolution of one. My role as a personal transformation expert is to ask questions, inform, and empower change. I create courageous space for conversations about personal transformation, racism, and accountability by disrupting limiting beliefs, empowering critical self-reflection, and challenging assumptions. I developed the Activism through Coaching Model as an approach to personal transformation based on two fundamental questions:

      1. Should we continue to advance a system that encourages racism and division, or can we seek unity and change through conversation and personal transformation?
      2. The Cairo Question: Will my grandson, Cairo, have to protest in his lifetime for the birthright to freely and peacefully exist in the skin in which he was born?

 

Hence the Summit Revolution.
