The Inaugural National Anti Racism Conference - Reflections - what did we achieve

In this episode, I'm in conversation with 3 hardworking and passionate black women; Millie Kerr, Nimal Jude and returning Shantel Thomas.    This was an opportunity to discuss and review the conference, its original aims and objectives.  Our discussion was lively, frank and open - full of laughter and warmth but no less serious about the 'mission'. Millie, Nimal and Shantel were instrumental in organising and leading this event in collaboration with the S.W.E.A.R.N - Social Work Anti-racist Network. The team discussed what went well and the feedback received, they also shared what would have improved the event, namely a budget! Most of the work in bringing this conference to fruition came down to grit, determination and additional work on top of their day jobs.......... we engage in discussion on the need for senior leaders to really get involved, which will require some deep self-reflection on issues of anti-racism and commitment to action and change. The team have bigger ambitions for next year and will be working with other colleagues to make it happen, so watch this space - if there is anything you can do to help with the mission an ACTION agenda, please get in touch. We also hear about the ARM - Anti-racist Movement, a space for healing.  Members of ARM are predominantly Black and Brown women working in the anti-racism space but also include practitioners, educators and leaders.  ARM meet every last Friday of the month.  For more details, please send enquiries to the email address below: Email: antiracistmove@gmail.com     ================================================================== Do share your feedback at adosylv@gmail.com Join our Fb community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/412169436067530 Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channe....l/UCB6IJzP9UzJn2B5oX omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
