How do earned or unearned privileges interlock to create systems of power and marginalization? How do we make White privilege visible, as we unpack and reframe it, to move forward in cultivating spaces of allyship and belonging? This workshop is aimed at providing a platform to both learn about how to use privilege(s), as well as give an opportunity for people of color themselves to create and express definitions of allyship they appreciate. Donald Proby is the Senior Director of Training at Coro Northern California and has a long history working in higher education, leadership development, and diversity, inclusion, and belonging.

In this talk, Dr. DeGruy presents facts that illustrate how varying levels of both clinically induced and socially learned residual stress related issues were passed along through generations as a result of slavery. The theory of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome suggests that centuries of slavery followed by systemic racism and oppression have resulted in multigenerational adaptive behaviors—some of which have been positive and reflective of resilience and others that are detrimental and destructive. Dr. Joy DeGruy is a nationally and internationally renowned researcher, educator, author, and presenter. She is a tell-it-like-it-is ambassador for healing and a voice for those who’ve struggled in search of the past and continue to struggle through the present.
