  • Powerlessness: You feel powerless, knowing that despite your concerns, you're not making the impact you want to see.

  • Perpetuating Harm: By not engaging in informed action, the status quo continues, allowing harm to marginalized communities to persist.

  • Lingering Regret: The weight of knowing you could have made a difference but didn’t will continue to weigh on you.

  • Unrealized Potential: Your potential to contribute to a more just world remains untapped, leaving both you and the communities you care about trapped in the same place.

“what makes Yulinda so great is that she is so non judgemental. I feel safe and seen. I have shared things with her that I have never shared with anyone and that’s her superpower. The ability to create a space so safe that you are able to share things and see things about yourself, both the good and the bad, and own them, and by owning all of yourself, began to heal…”

FAQ

Reparations in Action: The Power of Black-Led Learning Spaces

In a world where Black bodies have been commodified and undervalued for centuries, working with Black leaders who guide us through the work of racial justice is more than a choice—it's an act of reparations. When you engage with Black-led spaces, you're not just supporting a cause; you're contributing to the healing and restoration of a community that has been systematically oppressed.

For white individuals, the benefits extend far beyond mere learning. Being taught by Black leaders transforms the process into one of rehumanization. Instead of the shame-based individualism and competition often found in white affinity groups, Black-led spaces invite you to reconnect with your humanity. Here, the focus shifts from performance to genuine connection, from guilt to growth, and from isolation to community.

This is more than education; it’s a radical shift toward healing—a path that not only changes the world but also transforms your heart.
