WE NEED
2 TALK.
Facilitating critical conversations that tackle race head on.
Anti-racism is a practice,
not a destination.
It takes ongoing work.
We Need 2 Talk will help you get started or continue on your journey. We will give you tools to use and the confidence to use them.
And a multi-racial, multi-media teaching team.
We’re two educators from two different backgrounds who love to read, think, write, and talk about race. We do the research, reviewing books, articles, films, and multi-media texts. Then we craft resources, workshops, and dialogues that will help you learn and make you think.
We help you respond
authentically.
There is no one-size fits all approach to anti-racism. Every group will come to the work differently, and do the work in their own unique way. Whether you are responding to a rupture in your community or conscientiously building an inclusive workplace, we will help you do the work authentically.
