Hosted By: Certificate in Diversity & Community Engagement Program Day of Racial Healing Workshop: "We Are the Builders"

Inspired by Deepa Iyer's ecological framework in "We Are the Builders," this workshop is an opportunity to collectively engage in reflection, dialogue, and action for racial healing and equity. Through guided exercises, group discussions, and personal storytelling, participants will explore their unique roles in the movement for social justice—whether as weavers, frontline responders, storytellers, or other archetypes identified by Iyer.

This interactive session will emphasize the importance of building interconnected and resilient communities that center healing and transformation. Together, we will deepen our understanding of systemic inequities, honor the diverse histories and experiences of racialized communities, and cultivate tools for bridging divides and fostering solidarity. We will explore immediate opportunities to bring about racial healing on the Kennesaw State University campus and in the Northwest Metropolitan Atlanta area.
