“I witnessed a racist comment at work. Now what?” 


“What if I’m so offended I don’t know what to say?” 


“What if I unintentionally offend someone?”


“How do I become a better facilitator of inclusive conversations?” 


If you have ever had these questions, this session is for you. This workshop will start building our inclusive conversation muscles through: 


  • Sharing your story: How has it felt to be in need of an ally or advocate? How have you taken on (or struggled to take on) these roles yourself? 
  • Heightening your awareness: How can you prepare yourself to stand up as an ally? How can you act in the moment of conflict to facilitate a productive conversation? 
  • Getting comfortable with discomfort: How can you practice sitting with, and then acting to move past discomfort? 


Hosted by Dr. Mana Nakagawa, Director of Diversity Strategic Initiatives at Facebook, and co-chair of USJC’s Outreach and Allyship committee, this 1.5 hour-long workshop will offer practical advice for allyship and self-advocacy in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment. Come prepared to share, listen, offer support, and participate in small-group roleplay scenarios to better prepare for the next time you are called on to be an ally or self-advocate.
