Respect. Solidarity. Belonging.

 

Anti-racist change is a long-term, generational endeavor. Enrich Chicago offers arts and culture leaders a variety of identity-based and role-specific affinity groups as opportunities to come to a greater understanding of their racialized identities and the impact of their social (mis)shaping on their individual leadership practices. These groups are also used as professional learning spaces in which participants reflect on their power, assess their organizational policies, and build a culture of anti-racism within their organizations.
