I wanted to share some information with you all about a new pilot project here in Toronto about internalized racism among racialized and Aboriginal women. This project will provide information on how internalized racism impacts the lives of women, and how racialized and Aboriginal women can strengthen their knowledge and analysis of internalized racism, in order to build strategies to challenge racism in the workplace and in their day-to-day lives.  

This project presents a unique opportunity for racialized and Aboriginal women to take what they learn in the project and develop as facilitators.  This educational learning opportunity will be facilitated by Tina Lopes (www.tinalopes.com) who is an organizational development consultant, facilitator and mediator, skilled in promoting organizational change processes.  She has worked with governments, community agencies, human service organizations, unions and agencies serving women.  This personal and professional development opportunity will be available free of charge to racialized and Aboriginal women.  

I am helping with the organization of the sessions, so if you know any women who are interested (or if anyone has any questions) please contact me by email.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Take care, 

Nana
