Talkin' Privilege

A couple of weeks ago I presented a workshop for Maricopa County employees. It was for a diversity conference and it included a nice range of social justice topics. My workshop was titled "The Disease of Whiteness." I did a morning and an afternoon session and had about 30 participants in each session. I received many compliments and it was nice to finally have white men give me some props. I have been asked to present again by another department within the county so it seems maybe the message of justice is beginning to reach some people.

A few friends of mine presented as well and one group of friends made a very positive impression. Truality is the name of their group and they bring a fresh approach to many issues. You can see their work at Truality.org and please look for their social network site soon at Mytruality.com.
