Passion for People Seminars
In these mini seminars, you will be challenged to see your world through a different lens. We will explore how we are all interconnected. Participants will learn how racism, gender, sexuality, and oppression, all overlap and in many cases serve to harm marginalized communities. A deeper understanding of this reality from a historical and practical perspective is paramount for a more just society. You will be better equipped to address the tensions we currently face in our society.
Classes are limited to 12 participants for optimal learning. Please contact us to customize a training for your organization.

- What About Reparations?: Reparations for the harms done to African Americans in the United States has been ignored, undercut, underfunded, sidelined, and denied, when so many other cultures and races of people have been offered repair. Students will explore how reparations has been offered others and ways in which we can deepen our understanding of what reparations are.
