This workshop centers the urgent need to unlearn and dismantle the white normative values embedded in nonprofit organizational culture — values that suppress innovation, uphold racial hierarchies, and exploit Black labor under the guise of “mission.” It’s about naming and replacing those harmful norms with Black-affirming, liberatory practices rooted in community, collective care, and transformative leadership.

We’re talking about moving from:

• Urgency → to Intentionality

• Perfectionism → to Process and Learning

• Paternalism → to Shared Power

• Individualism → to Collective Wisdom

This is a culture shift workshop — and it’s unapologetically Black-centered.
