Let’s Talk Friends

Ninety minutes for teams to have honest conversations about race, grounded in story rather than shame.

The Experience

A guided dialogue that fosters learning through storytelling.

We ask you to…

  • bring paper and pen for a mini drawing exercise

  • have the courage to share your truth

  • be compassionately curious about others’ perspectives

  • embrace discomfort and empower yourself to choose

W H A T   P A R T I C I P A N T S   S A Y
  • "We don’t always get to have these conversations and sit-downs where shame isn't at the center of learning."

  • "People are often terrified of how to have conversations about race. Betty brought a different kind of experience that is warm, accessible, and enriching while gracefully embracing that these talks can also be uncomfortable."

  • "Hearing others’ stories helped me realize the assumptions I had about community and connection. "

  • “This workshop gave me a foundation to explore how race shaped my relationships. It opened my eyes in a way that felt different from other conversations I’ve had.

Who This Is For

  • Individuals who want to understand how race affects their personal and professional relationships

  • Organizations looking to break down barriers for authentic connection

  • Affinity groups looking for a safe space to have nuanced reflections
