Breaking White Silence - Linda Allen
How many times have you been in conversation with white people when someone made a racist statement about People of Color? Maybe you didn’t agree with it but you didn’t know what to say or how to challenge it.

Louisiana Creoles of Color: A Look at Crossing, Straddling, Defining, and Erasing the Color Line - Terri Taylor-Joseph
A look at how Creoles of Color have helped shape the way we look at beauty, culture, race, and class from before the Louisiana Purchase to present. Terri is a New Orleans native who moved to the Northshore in 1999. She began collecting stories and oral histories from her relatives at an early age. Having traced her genealogy to the 1600s, she has pieced together her family history which includes a Cuban expatriate who fought to overthrow the Spanish government in Cuba; an ancestor who came to Louisiana from Canada with Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, and another who was born in Mayence, Germany and was the original owner of Whitney Plantation. As a descendant of New Orleans’ gens de couleur libre (free people of color), she prides herself with being the keeper of her family’s history. Terri has been immersed in the creole culture and reigned as queen of the Creole Fiesta of which her great-grandmother was a founding member. She received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English with a minor in History from the University of New Orleans and a Master of Science Degree in Human Resource Development from Villanova University.

Intersectionality in Feminism: From Margin to the Center - Patricia Stout, LCSW
What do women’s rights have to do with racism, classism and homophobia? Intersectionality perspective was developed by women of color during the 1960s and is relevant today. In this class, we will explore how the powerful and unjust systems of sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia are interwoven. We will question institutionalized power structures--that we may unwittingly participate in—which create and perpetuate all forms of inequality. Intersectionality perspective also provides solutions to creating a more equalitarian world. Patricia has a Masters in Clinical Social Work, specializing in Systems Theory, from Florida State University. Her post-graduate training is in Transpersonal Psychology, and she has specialized in women's issues. Much of the material from this session is provided by Ashly Patterson, M.A., sociology professor and co-author of Reading Feminist Theory: From Modernity to Postmodernity.

Allowing Beads to Elevate our Mind and Body through our Spirit - Elaine Pote
Beading is a skill; one we can all learn. It is learned by the body and mind, but can be elevated by the spirit. In our workshop we’ll make a pair of earrings which embodies our creative spirit by tapping into our right brain. But by using our left brain, we’ll give them structure and form. Elaine has been serious beader since 2001. She is a self-taught artist. Her inspiration comes from the most mundane places: airports, restaurants, dash boards. It is a skill; the artistry comes with knowing your media and practicing. Elaine enjoys bead weaving, wire-work, some metal work and fibers to name a few. Elaine muses: "I think beading/jewelry making will keep my brain active and working healthfully as I age, as it engages every level of function. Beading is also a form of loving kindness meditation for me. I send that person love and light, and my heart lightens just through the act of being loving." She has a degree in Anthropology from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va.
