Mindful of Race 101

Racism remains one of the most rooted and painful impasses of our time. Racism is fed through unawareness, oppressive systems, and the misuse of power. The scars and history of racism impacts all of us, without exception. It impacts our capacity to genuinely love, and it blinds us to our humanity.

I invite you to join me for Mindful of Race 101, based on research from my bestselling book Mindful of Race. This introductory self-study course offers a compassionate and structured approach to exploring your racial programing.

In this course, we use the metaphor of the Rubik’s Cube to illustrate and help you remember the six core concepts of the Mindful of Race framework. The course shows you the complexity and dynamic of your racial conditioning and its impact on collective well-being. Just like solving a Rubik’s Cube, building racial awareness is a practice of commitment, patience, and discovery.

This is a course that many take again and again.
