Race impacts us daily yet many of us have little awareness of how our cultural “scripts” influence our identity and perceptions of others. This two-part workshop, co-led by Agustin McCarthy and Melanie Oram (Borough of Manhattan Community College), is designed to cultivate awareness and communication skills that are essential for all of us during this time of racial reckoning. During these interactive sessions, participants will investigate their racial “scripts” by engaging in activities to help them relate to their thoughts with greater skill: discussion of images and film clips, mindful journaling, and pair-share exercises.
