The transatlantic slave trade caused generational trauma and systemic inequities that persist today. #SocialWorkers recognize this history by advocating for reparative justice and addressing racial disparities in social services. #NASW #ReparativeJustice #RacialHealing #SocialWorkForEquity

Racial healing is a part of “Healing our Culture,” but definitely not the only part.
I am thankful to be in a safe place today where we can learn about these issues and participate in these challenging conversations.

(A sobering, intriguing & instructive local history lesson for me tonight…)
Shelly Fryer and I participated in a wonderful "racial healing retreat" this past Saturday at our church in Charlotte. We recorded some reflections about the experience, our takeaways, and our "next steps" earlier this week, and I posted this as the first episode of a new "Heal Our Culture" podcast. Please listen, subscribe and share!

COMMUNITY NORMS - SIMILAR TO #QOTO OR CAN BE USED FROM
(Originally for racial healing events and activities)
01
Our primary commitment is to learn from each other. We will listen to each other and not talk at each other. We welcome differences amongst us in backgrounds, skills, interests, and values.
02
Assume good intentions; but recognize impact; and emergently respond to harm.
03
Debate ideas, not the individual sharing the idea or practice.
04
Engage tension but do so with loving kindness to others & to self.
05
Step Up & Step Back. Be mindful of taking up much more space than others. On the same note, empower yourself to speak up when others are dominating the conversation.
06
Respect others' points of view (even when you think and believe differently).
07
Prioritize confidentiality. Share the lesson; hold the identity/story (What's said here stays here). Obtain consent.
08
Be a charitable listener. assume all you engage with have something to teach you.
09
Speak openly to your experiences, values, & perspectives.
