What is white resiliency? What are some ways to build + develop it? What does the characteristics of white resiliency include? What is the application or connections of racial resiliency to other identities in the world? How resiliency is connected to the greater liberation?
Today we’re talking about a tool I’ve been using extensively since the first day I found it: The White Resiliency Framework. Craig has lots to teach us about entering into the conversations about racism without defensiveness, denial and centering ourselves.
