Cultivating an Anti-Racist Support Network for Transracial Adoptees
Adoptees of color who are parented by white people have different needs than their non-adoptive counterparts and are well-served by thoughtful attention to the intersectionality of race, culture and identity by all in their life - not just their parents. This workshop is fully customized and invites all of the people in that child's life to come together for a 2-hour virtual workshop, facilitated by Angela. Families leave with a deeper understanding of how transracial adoptees grow through the development stages of racial awareness to racial identity, and practical skills for how to handle insensitive or racist remarks.
This workshop is a fully customized and interactive 2- hour workshop designed for your transracial adoptive family and members of your community network (family, friends, neighbors, church community, & coworkers). This is your event - you get to choose whom you invite (up to 80 Zoom screens)!
This package also includes:
1:1 preliminary consultation with Angela to discuss your goals for the your workshop
Free download of the Closure documentary (for all of your invitees)
Recording of the workshop for review and accountability.
Foundational discussions:
Racial norms in America
Racism within child-welfare systems
Strategies & Role-Play
Responses to adoption-related microaggressions (i.e. “Where is his real mom?”, “How’d you get them?” etc.)
