The RAARE Woman Collective: Radical Action Advancing Racial Equity is a racial equity program and coaching suite for “inclined” white women who want to advance racial equity at home, at work, and in their communities. Recognizing that there are white women who very much want to LEAD in the eradication of racism in their spheres of influence, but don’t know how and may be:
● So scared to say the wrong thing that they say nothing on this topic
● Don’t want to trip up with black women and take space that they believe is not theirs
● Worried that the same old approach to anti-racism is yielding lack-luster results and is NOT going to make real change
● Would appreciate a community of women from around the country –all assented to the same language, framework AND support in furtherance of this work
● Looking for legacy-setting impact to change the world
