For too long, too much of diversity, equity, and inclusion work – both within organizations and in social movements – has fallen on the shoulders of people of color. It’s time for white leaders to step up our game. This doesn’t mean trying to be the savior – it means deep listening, confronting courageously our inevitable bias, and working in true partnership with people of color.
AUTHENTIC SOLIDARITY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
A Program for White Anti-Racist Women
As a white identified woman, have you ever asked yourself the following:
- How can I take a stronger stand for my equity values in my work and life?
- How can I effectively respond to feedback about blind spots related to race or power? What if I don’t agree?
- Does my feminism get in the way of my anti-racist work, or can I use it as a bridge?
- What is the right constituency for me to be working with, or the best role to play, given my identity?
- How do my other identities, besides gender, intersect with my anti-racism work?
IF YOU’VE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE QUESTIONS ABOVE, OR BEEN SEARCHING FOR SUPPORT TO ADVANCE YOUR EQUITY WORK,
this program is for you

Join a hand selected, intimate, group of other white identified women leaders, influencers, and advocates to bring about radical change in yourself, your work, and the world. Our cohort model puts you in deep learning and conversation with other equally committed change agents, facilitated by Rebecca Aced-Molina, an expert coach, trainer, and group facilitator with more than twenty years experience.
THE JOURNEY
We will come together as a cohort for a six-month transformational journey
It will begin with a 2-day retreat in a historic workshop space in downtown Oakland, California in which we will begin the process of situating ourselves in our personal racial and gender justice story, re-engage with our purpose and passion for social change, become solid in our analysis of history and what the present moment is asking for, and create a vision for what could be; for ourselves, our work, and the world.
We will participate in an on-going support group, including monthly 90-minute group calls, where we will support and hold each other accountable for; having courageous conversations and taking a stand for people of color. We will explore how this work intersects with taking a stand for ourselves as women and unpack together what happens as we step out in new ways.
Individual coaching support with Rebecca will happen throughout, in monthly, personal 60 minute coaching sessions, so you can go to the more vulnerable places, the deeper doubts and the audacious visions, to give life to your authentic solidarity.
Throughout our time together, Rebecca will bring in a variety of modalities that go beyond the typical diversity training including; Coaching for Transformation, Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Dynamics, and Community Organizing.
THE RESULTS
This program will support personal healing and a variety of practical applications; from everyday communication to systemic policy change
By the conclusion of the program you will be able to infuse your on-going work with calm, confident communication about race, gender, and other forms of oppression, including your unique contribution or stand as a white woman.
