It’s been almost ten years since the founding of the Movement for Black Lives, which kicked off a decade of activism and creativity comparable to the abolitionist movement and the Civil Rights Movement. And yet, even after the work of these powerful movements, we still see racism in this country. So the question remains: can white people learn to be less racist in action and thought? In this conversation with Dr. Tawana Davis we learn about her work trying to do just that by creating the Facing Racism program. We discuss her Antioch dissertation studying the effectiveness of that program, her work as a womanist centering the lived experience of Black women, and the more spiritual dimensions of making anti-racist change. • • To learn more about the PhD in Leadership and Change that Tawana graduated from, visit the program’s webpage (https://www.antioch.edu/academics/lea...) .
