B7 More Than Race; The Endless Journey Toward Cultural Competency and Humility; Part 2

Jamie Velazquez; CaMesha Reece

In this three-hour workshop; we will begin the conversation about cultural competency; privilege; oppression and humility. This course focuses on personal; and often unquestioned; beliefs and experiences in an attempt to enhance learning about cultural competence; increase humility in working with others and begin to be more open to examining the world from various perspectives. We will discuss entering into situations with humility; willing to learn from others; and being open and honest with ourselves about our own identities;  privileges; oppression and growth opportunities.
