The Listening | with Tiffany & Tyler
Online
The Listening provides Zoom “listening” sessions for white and white-identifying/passing persons, who want to learn more about how to ACTUALLY harness their responsibility as allies in this fight against racial injustice & inequality. Leading the workshops are Tiffany Rachelle Stewart (a black actress and university professor) and her partner Tyler Rivenbark (a white educator and playwright), who has decades of experience confronting racism in ACTIONABLE ways. Together they are saying the things that often go unsaid around white allyship, but delivering that truth in a way that emboldens and empowers. The Listening seeks to educate not only about what white people can & must DO, but also about the mental, psychological, and paradigm-shifting considerations that white allies MUST be willing to accept, in order to be able to do the work necessary to dismantle the racist systems that their privilege perpetuates. The veil is being lifted powerfully for Listening attendees, who are leaving invigorated & inspired to finally do the REAL work.
