Speaker Series
2022-12-11 19:30 - 21:00
In our ongoing effort to have constructive conversations about race and racism, we are thrilled to announce that Susie Berg, writer, and equity and inclusion consultant, will lead discussion about the film Deconstructing Karen on Sunday, December 11 at 7:30 PM.
In this provocative documentary, white women experience radical honesty about racism and their daily role in upholding it, their conditioning to ignore it and the essential part they can play in tearing down the systems that are killing black and brown people every single day.
The premise is simple: What if white women could and would show up to help end racism?
How to participate in this event?

Register to attend the online Zoom discussion here. A link will be sent closer to the date of the event.
Click this link to watch Deconstructing Karen for FREE on CBC’s GEM streaming service any time before we meet on December 11th. While watching the move, pay attention to your own reactions – what causes you to cringe ? What resonates? Do you have any “aha” moments?
Bring your observations and join in the discussion on December 11th
