Event Details

Author Amanda K Gross will read from her book, White Women, Get Ready: How Healing Post-Traumatic Mistress Syndrome Leads to Anti-Racist Change, introduce an embodied tool for action, and invite participants to engage with the book's framework, personal reflections, and each other to consider their own intersections, experiences, and perspectives on the themes.

This interactive reading, facilitated discussion, and activity will share lessons learned from multi-racial, multicultural, and white affinity organizing with a focus on how white women and femmes can courageously get ready for—and sustain—deep and long-lasting commitments to anti-racist change.
