Preparing for Reparatory Black Leadership for Transformative Personal and Collective Change
Attention ALL Black and Minoritised Community Leaders and Activists: Unlock your leadership potential!
This 3 part course, over 3 half days, is for those who want to take their leadership impact to higher levels as activists and advocates looking to embrace a reparatory justice approach to their work and leadership style.
Reparatory Black Leadership is one that is built on knowledge and implementation of lessons from our heritage and in doing so challenges Eurocentric notions of what is leadership and the tools necessary to bring about personal and systemic change in the spaces that we lead. Looking at leadership through a reparatory justice lens will be a cognitive, psychological, physical and spiritual journey.
Are you an activist? Are you from a global south community looking to bring a reparations lens into the heart of your mission as a leader or aspiring leader? Are you looking to embrace tools from indigenous knowledge to build new alternative ways of being, knowing and leading? Are you looking to lead an organisation that embraces different ways of knowing, doing, being? This introductory programme will move you along this path and can be supported by individual self development sessions with the course facilitator Sis Jendayi Serwah-Tagoe.
Who is this programme for?
This course utilizes Afrikan centred frames of reference and would be particularly useful for anyone who is of Afrikan Heritage and is in a leading position in the community, a social movement or organisation. It will also have some relevance to other communities from the global south who have experienced colonization, neo colonialism and wants to take their leadership in a direction that honours their heritage and culture and recognises its value in countering eurocentrism.
