We are inviting you to an engaging three-session discussion series that centers around identity, race, and community engagement. Why? We hope to create an open conversation that normalizes conversations about the recent protests.
In this session, we will have a discussion into what implicit bias means and how we can engage with our friends and family members in a racial discussion.
You are encouraged to do the implicit bias test before our conversation. We will not ask you to share your result at the event. Here’s the test: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html.
RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tap-sea-its-time-to-talk-about-race-part-3-tickets-124505795185
We will follow these ground rules in every discussion:
1. Listen for understanding and with empathy
2. Allow everyone a chance to speak
3. Be kind and brave
4. Use “yes, and…” and “I” statements (I feel…I experienced…)
5. Criticize ideas, not individuals and keep the focus on the conversation
6. No fixing or correcting
7. Respect the silence that comes with thinking, learning, and processing
8. Avoid assumptions about others and recognize that not all values align
9. Lean into discomfort
10. Expect that we will leave/end with session with unanswered questions
11. Have fun!
12. And other rules that the group suggests
If you are ready to break the silence and wanting to listen and share, please RSVP with Eventbrite. We will send the Zoom link to registered participants prior to the event. If you are not ready to have a conversation, it is okay too. We will keep this conversation going, and hope to see you soon.

Dungeons & Dragons No Foolish Matter Description
Some of the hamlets outlying Hillsfar have been struck by an odd malady. Rumor has it a traveling carnival visited those hamlets before the disease struck. Does coincidence not equal causation or is something sinister afoot?
