What you’ll get in these (free) Workshop Sessions:
1) Understand Racism In ‘Canada’
A clear introduction to ignite your unlearning & relearning process in critical thinking. Rooting our understanding of today’s racial injustices and white supremacy in the historical impacts of living on stolen land, the cultural genocide of Indigenous peoples, the enslavement of Black people and the racist structures that impact the life chances of Black, Indigenous and racialized communities.
2) Learn to hold antiracist conversations at work & at home
It is essential that an antiracist lens is integrated in the decisions we make for our loved ones and families and within our workspaces. What books do our children read? What conversations are we having at the dinner table? What policies and practices at work are creating inequities? Are the spaces we are in majority-white? We will look at the lens needed to take steps towards community and organizational change and we will reveal what it looks like to be actively antiracist in the spaces we are in.
3) Learn how to become an accomplice.
And learn why true allyship requires inner change + measurable action steps at home, at work & in your community. We need to ensure that we are moving beyond the performative- theatre ways that allyship is often displayed. We’ll discuss Intention vs. Impact and the harm in white centring as you embark on being a part of the change.

Your Host: Selam Debs.
I am a Black Ethiopian queer antiracism educator, an anti-oppression coach, a social justice advocate, a student in dismantling anti-Black racism, an accomplice in dismantling anti-Indigenous racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and an advocate in 2SLGBTQ+ & disability rights through an intersectional lens.
I am the founder of Juici Yoga, a yoga and meditation instructor, a restorative yoga teacher trainer, a holistic life coach, a reiki master, and a Lululemon Ambassador.
I AM first and foremost, A MOTHER. I am a singer and a songwriter, a poet and a practitioner of self-acceptance, self-love, and radical compassion.
My Antiracism work is rooted in the understanding that we must acknowledge and identify the insidiousness of white supremacy before we can dismantle colonial belief systems. The process of undoing, unlearning and re-educating is necessary for white communities to embark on, to support the healing journey for Black, Indigenous and racialized communities.
