About the Program

Originally launched in the summer of 2020, the Black, Indigenous, People of Color Surviving Predominantly White Institution Series is a multi-part series designed to share strategies for:

• interfacing with white leadership;

• what to do when sh*t goes down;

• how to cultivate BIPOC solidarity;

• how to create a sustainable system of self-care; and

• how to know when it’s time to go and create an exit strategy.

​

Goals of Series:

• Create a community of support for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) who are either actively working, have worked, or considering working in a predominantly white institution (PWI); 

• Break through the isolation experienced by BIPOC who are often the only one or one of few inside of white institutions;

• Provide fundamental concepts and terminology to support and empower BIPOC folks in identifying and navigating racism while working in PWIs; 

• Activate wellness and healing for BIPOC folks as central to surviving and thriving; and

• Provide and inspire strategies and models for BIPOC folks that meet them where they are currently on their journeys, whether they’re seeking to disrupt, survive, and/or leave.​

​
