Undoing Racism®
Executive Collective Gathering
Join Us on Zoom: Monday, December 4, 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. EST
December Topic:
Why Belonging Matters to an Authentic DEI Practice
In as much as DEI principles guide our organizations, Belonging is the anchor that steadies theorganization. Without it, there is the potential to drift. Yet, despite its importance, many of ourorganizations don’t feel equipped to promote and sustain Belonging.
Diversity is a factual marker of who is present in the group and who is missing. Equity is a legalframework of fairness in how people are treated. Inclusion is the social aspect of full participation in theorganization. Belonging is a little different. It requires the internal work of the individual and thecollective work within an organization.
Our gathering will help leaders to uncover some of the dynamics to facilitate a greater sense ofBelonging and Community, through the lens of relationship, collaboration, and restorative justice.

Akuity Development, LLC in partnership with MPG Consulting and Sachs Policy Group is working with the Coalition/ASAP to define, inform, and develop the Institute’s approach and activities. We need your direct input and guidance to identify:

- The systemic barriers and day-to-day challenges you and your teams face at the strategic and operational levels to attracting and retaining a more diverse leadership within your organization.
- What’s been successful in helping you to reach your DEIB goals? What’s been the benefit to your staff and the communities you serve?
We need to hear your voices and experiences about being *BIPOC in our sector, including the opportunities and pitfalls you have faced throughout your career development.
We will be conducting focus groups and distributing surveys to collect the data we need.

*BIPOC is an attempt to center the violence, systemic racism, and cultural erasure against Black and Indigenous people and how it is foundational to the United States, a country founded on the enslavement of Black people and the genocide of Indigenous people. In our usage of the term BIPOC, it’s also inclusive of Latino/a/x/e, Asian, Pacific Islander, MENA (Middle Eastern, North African) and multi-racial identities. (Citation: MacArthur Foundation)

More Truth about Whiteness, Nice Racism and Racial Harm:
Strategies for Dismantling White Supremacy
Books Available for Purchase
The Enduring, Invisible, and Ubiquitous Centrality of Whiteness by Kenneth V. Hardy, PhD
A comprehensive collection on the topic of whiteness from writers in the field of mental health and activism.
Whiteness is a pervasive ideology that is rarely overtly identified or examined, despite its profound effects on race relationships. Being intentional about naming, deconstructing, and dismantling whiteness is a precursor to responding effectively to the racial reckoning of our society and improving race relationships, addressing systemic bias, and moving towards the creation of a more racially just world.
Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm by Robin DiAngelo, PhD
Building on the groundwork laid in the New York Times bestseller White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo explores how a culture of niceness inadvertently promotes racism.
In White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo explained how racism is a system into which all white people are socialized, and challenged the belief that racism is a simple matter of good people versus bad. DiAngelo also made a provocative claim: white progressives cause the most daily harm to people of color. In Nice Racism, her follow-up work, she explains how they do so. Drawing on her background as a sociologist and over 25 years working as an anti-racist educator, she picks up where White Fragility left off and moves the conversation forward. Writing directly to white people as a white person, DiAngelo identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm.

Deep Denial: The Persistence of White Supremacy in United States History and Life
