Unlocking the Power of Dialogue
Having open conversations about racism is essential for societal change, but it's not always easy. For some, privacy and familiar faces provide the best setting for these discussions.
I, Allie, offer a unique opportunity for individuals in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area to engage in meaningful conversations about undoing racism. Allie, our experienced facilitator, provides an atmosphere where participants can freely express their thoughts and concerns. My approach is centered on creating a supportive environment for open discussions about sensitive topics like racism. We prioritize your “voice” and engagement in these conversations.

Unlock the Power of Cultural Competency and Anti-racism Work
Cultivating Workplace Respect and Understanding
Empower Your Team with Cultural Awareness
Cultural competence and anti-racism work are the cornerstone of building mutual respect and understanding in today's diverse workplace. It's not only essential for fostering inclusivity but also a crucial risk mitigation strategy for businesses.
I, Allie, will provide the education and support necessary to engage your staff and leadership in conversations about critical issues related to race, ethnicity, and socio-economics. Simultaneously, while empowering your workforce to embark on anti-racism efforts that will support their engagement with the global community.
My curriculum covers anti-racism and culturally competent topics and addresses unconscious bias, allowing participants to acclimate to the diverse atmosphere of their work world. These conversations are key to transitioning into a more inclusive and evolving business environment.
Offered:
Risk Mitigation: Cultural competence and proactively addressing racism is a must for mitigating risks in the workplace in order to curtail employment discrimination and foster a safe, inclusive, and comfortable workspace for businesses with diverse populations.
Racism-related incidents or allegations can have a significant impact on an organization's reputation.
Risk mitigation in the context of race involves understanding and addressing societal and cultural factors that can impact an organization. This may include addressing issues like:
Microaggressions in the workplace
Cultural insensitivity
Addressing racial biases vs having Implicit bias
Sensitive Discussions: We guide your team through historically sensitive discussions to transition into a more inclusive and evolving business atmosphere.
Inclusive Conversations: Equip your team to address today's emerging issues.
It's important for organizations to recognize that risk mitigation and race are interconnected, and addressing racial disparities and promoting diversity and inclusion is not only a matter of social responsibility but also a strategic approach to reducing various forms of risk (ex: marketing and consumer) and business and employment practices.

Academic Conversational Workshops
Conversational Lectures
Empowering Change in the Classroom: Breaking the Silence on Academic Racism
One of the most overlooked areas where racism silently exerts its influence is the classroom. Discussions about the profound impact of this social construct on children are often pushed to the sidelines. As an educator, Allie recognizes this gap and has crafted workshops that shine a light on academic racism and its repercussions for students.
My workshops are not one-time events. They are held throughout the year, emphasizing that undoing racism requires a continuous, grassroots-level conversation involving teachers, parents, students, and the broader community.
What to Expect:
Open Dialogue: These workshops are a platform for ongoing discussions, not just a stack of paper-filled folders.
Inclusivity: The doors are wide open to teachers, parents, students, and the community.
Join Allie and be prepared to engage in a continuous dialogue that challenges the status quo and paves the way for a more inclusive and equitable educational environment.
