Start the school year with this powerful Anti-Blackness/Anti-Racism professional development training opportunity!
Workshop Presenter:
Dr. Brian L. Wright, Award-winning Author and Associate Professor & Program Coordinator of Early Childhood Education, Department of Instruction and Curriculum Leadership, College of Education and Coordinator of the Middle School Cohort of the African American Male Academy at the University of Memphis
Entitled after the award-winning book, “The Brilliance of Black Boys” workshop will help educators, administrators, social workers/counselors, government officials, funders, and other educational equity stakeholders better understand and identify the promise, potential and possibilities of Black boys. For Black parents, families, and community members, it will be a refreshing reminder of the beauty and brilliance of our children and affirmation in the face of negative narratives and experiences with schools and other systems.
Drawing from a wealth of experience in early childhood education, Dr. Wright will present an asset- and strengths-based view of educating Black boys. This positive approach enables practitioners and school leaders to recognize, understand, and cultivate the diversity of social skills of Black boys in the early grades (Pre-K-3rd grade).
Two unique benefits are available to registrants only:
o Free electronic copies of select articles by Dr. Wright published in NAEYC’s Teaching Young Children Journal (usually only available to NAEYC members)
o Limited quantities of autographed copies of “The Brilliance of Black Boys”
This special workshop will provide practical skills and tools that can be put into practice right away including:
o Tangible illustrations of what is lost when Black boys are prevented from participating freely in boyhood, having to instead attend to adult and peer interactions and attitudes that view them as “bad boys” and “troublemakers”
o Classroom strategies to help young Black boys achieve their highest potential
o Other resources for supporting Black boys’ social-emotional development including a preview of “Black Boys are Lit” – an upcoming publication with a reading list of 300 authentic multicultural children’s books with Black boys as protagonist
“The Brilliance of Black Boys” is the fourth in a series of workshops as part of “Blacks, Believers & the Montessori Way” (BBMW) community awareness and empowerment campaign.
BBMW is sponsored by IMPACT LIVING Christian Center, a non-denominational faith community led by Black leaders, as a part of its planning process for opening Morning Glory Montessori, an all-boys, Afrocentric, Christian Montessori school in fall 2021. (www.impactlivingcc.org)

This workshop is made possible by a grant from the Sheltering Arms Foundation.

About this Event
Through the use of interactive conversation “No Fats, No Femmes, No Blacks: How Your Preferences May Actually Be Prejudice” will explore the magnitude in which the use of microaggressions, ideas about race, gender, sexuality and body politics impacts our behaviors and attitudes when creating dating and sexual “preferences”. It will also explore how these dynamics impede on our ability to view individuals holistically by exploring how these attitudes impact who we deem as desirable and the types of interpersonal behaviors we deem “appropriate” when building platonic, romantic and sexual relationships. Lastly we will also explore ways we can acknowledge and combat microaggressions and build stronger coalitions across communities.

Discover the hidden cost of being Black in America.
In this highly acclaimed book, The Black Tax, Shawn Rochester shows how The Black Tax (which is the financial cost of conscious and unconscious anti-black discrimination), creates a massive financial burden on Black American households that dramatically reduces their ability to leave a substantial legacy for future generations. Los Angeles Black Professionals is honored to host Mr. Rochester for a presentation & discussion about The Black Tax and what can be done about it. Mr. Rochester will deliver the following:
Explain the concept of The Black Tax in a paradigm-shifting, data-driven, and fact-based manner.
Quantify the historical cost of discrimination against Black people in America and explain how that led to Black people owning only about 2% of US wealth.
Introduce a new economic framework to help create the millions of jobs and businesses that are missing in the Black community.
