Got privilege? Want to know what it’s good for? Want to make use of your advantages without insulting those who may not share them? There are so many ways creative people can help each other. With suggestions ranging from practical tips to aspirational dreams, this seminar empowers would-be allies to support Black creatives and #ownvoices work plus boost the presence of marginalized genius.

In the lecture portion of this two hour webinar, authors Nisi Shawl and K. Tempest Bradford will offer real-life examples, general guidance, and a host of resources to help creativity workers walk their talk. The webinar concludes with an hour of Q & A.

Half of the proceeds from ticket sales go to supporting the Carl Brandon Society.

This online seminar is not only for white writers, or cis writers, or men, it is for any writer who wants to take steps toward creating a more equitable creative community.
