Courses in the Classroom!
Get "Doing the Work," The Healing blueprint " and "Deconstructing race, racism, and theater!" All available in the classroom! . The Healing Blueprint If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not sure where to begin, this is where you start. The Healing Blueprint is a quick start guide to understanding your nervous system, your patterns, and what healing actually looks like in practice. This is not about fixing yourself. It is about learning how you work. Inside, we focus on: - building skills and foundations - understanding where you are in the healing journey - reconnecting with yourself on every level You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to begin. Doing the Work Deconstruction is not a performance. It is a practice. This course is your guide to deconstructing racism, bias, and internalized systems in a way that is grounded, honest, and sustainable. Not surface-level awareness. Not saying the “right” thing. Actual internal work. We focus on: - understanding how systems shape belief and behavior - interrupting defensiveness and fragility - building emotional capacity for discomfort - shifting from intention to impact This is not about being seen as “good.” It is about being accountable, aware, and in practice. Deconstructing Race, Racism, and Theater The stage didn’t just reflect culture. It helped build it. This course breaks down how racism has shaped American entertainment, from minstrelsy to modern media. If you work in theater, storytelling, or performance spaces, this is essential context. We cover: - the roots of racialized performance - how stereotypes were created and reinforced on stage - the ongoing impact on casting, storytelling, and production - what responsibility looks like in creative spaces today This is not just history. It is the system we are still working inside of. The Allyship Toolbox (For TikTok Hosts) When harm looks like help. Going live about race without the skills to hold it can cause real harm.

These are such amazing resources! Thank you!! If anyone wants/needs an accountability buddy, I could use help staying consistent and want to go through Doing The Work again. Please message me if anyone wants to do daily/weekly check-ins, even if it’s just a quick DM.

@Emma Marceau that would be great!
What Does Your Neighborhood Actually Look Like?
We talk a lot about “diversity” in abstract ways. But have you ever actually looked at the data for where you live? 👉 Explore your city here (use the tool and type in your city or zip code) https://bestneighborhood.org/racial-distribution-by-city/ This map breaks down racial distribution by city and neighborhood—who lives where, and in what proportions. And here’s why this matters: Race isn’t just about identity—it’s also about how people are grouped, separated, and distributed across systems like housing. So when you look at your neighborhood, you’re not just seeing “who lives there.” You’re seeing: Patterns of access Patterns of exclusion Patterns of history still playing out --- 💭 Reflection prompts: Does your neighborhood reflect the diversity of your city? Your State? Who is missing and why might that be? What does proximity (or lack of it) shape about your worldview? How might this connect to schools, resources, or safety? Segregation today doesn’t always look like laws, sometimes it looks like: “Good neighborhoods” “Property values” “School districts” “Where people feel comfortable living” But these patterns didn’t appear randomly. This is part of doing the work. Not just learning concepts, but noticing the world you’re moving through.o Look up your area and reflect. Then come back and share your thoughts, tell us what you noticed. 🔍

I have looked at the census for my area before and I know it’s super white where I am. I like this tool though! I looked at it with my kid and we discussed how this tool makes it pretty clear there’s still segregation and redlining. With property values, I’ve wondered if white households disputed their property tax assessments and then replaced all their pictures with pictures of a Black family when the appraiser comes (like they did in those expose experiments) if it would force counties to address bias in appraisals. If enough white people did this, it would start to impact counties’ incomes so they’d be forced to address it I would think. Idk but I’m going to experiment the next time my property is assessed, lol.
The Eternal Song Series
There’s an initial documentary, The Eternal Song, that gives an overview of Indigenous Peoples around the world and the impact of colonization. Then the series goes more in depth and each film focuses on one group from the first movie. The producers are still releasing the films, they’ve been doing one a month or so since last fall/winter. If you sign up for their emails they’ll notify you when a new one is released so you can watch it for free and there’s always several days of talks and discussions with Elders and Healers. The next release is May 26th, I believe. Content warning: the films discuss the brutality and lasting impact of colonization. They also discuss Indigenous Peoples’ fights for sovereignty and healing, however. So, while they can be intense and heartbreaking, they’re also inspiring and show what’s possible in surviving and healing from colonization. https://theeternalsong.org/

I’ve noticed we white people do the same thing when reading. We think about what we’re reading as somehow outside of us rather than looking for how we show up in what we’re reading. We don’t connect it to our internal world, thoughts, behaviors, etc. and approach it to learn about ourselves.

This is awesome! The information is accessible and practical. I appreciate how you give concrete tools and skills that can be implemented immediately and adapted over time to what works best for each person! I’m putting this Labubu in my toolbox, lol. The texture is calming. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
