The “TO BE US EXPERIENCE” is a program designed to provide an intimate look into what it means to be “working while Black”.
Participants will view the award-winning film, TO BE US:To Work, and engage in an organic discussion and Q&A with the filmmakers.
The discussion will delve into the following topics surrounding the work experiences illustrated in the film:
-
racism/micro-aggressions
-
lateral violence
-
misogynoir
-
retaliation/wrongful termination
-
weathering
This is not a DEI training session nor a didactic human resource initiative, but rather a program designed to validate the experiences or your Black colleagues and offer challenging insight for your non-Black workers.
If you are interested in enriching your current DEI curriculum and training efforts, consider screening this documentary film with your team and engaging in a transparent and powerful discussion with the filmmakers.
