The people of America and the world watched in horror as a police officer knelt on the neck of George Floyd and listened as he begged for his life. His death, like the deaths of countless other people of color at the hands of police and white citizens, caused an outcry for change. But something shifted with the death of Mr. Floyd as more and more white citizens came forward and began to ask questions about what they could do. 

​

In answer to this question, we have developed a 7 week workshop specifically for the white community to break the cycle of generational racism and white supremacy. Cyclebreakers become agents of change by first committing to a process that allows them to experience change within themselves, thereby changing the spaces they occupy through micro and macro actions. Our methodology is not to tell white people what to do but rather to encourage white people to look within themselves, to reflect on their lives and identify a path forward that is authentic and empowering. 

​

If you want to break the cycle of historical racism, this resource is for you. If you want to disrupt systemic racism, this resource is for you. If you are open to self reflection and being an agent of change in your own life, this resource if for you. If you want to play a key part in realizing race unity in America, this resource is for you.
