Under Our Skin: What Do We Mean When We Talk About Race?
Do you freeze up at the prospect of talking about race? Under Our Skin will help break the ice. Do you tend to take sides right away when the issue of race comes up? Under Our Skin will challenge your assumptions and build common ground.
We’ll explore the Seattle Times “Under Our Skin” project through a selection of short videos combined with facilitated discussion in small groups. Video presentation will highlight personal reflections and stories from the diverse people who participated in the project and will inspire us to think and talk about issues of race in a deeper way.
In this six-week series, we’ll cover one or two topics each session. There will be new ground to cover each week, so we encourage you to attend them all. However, each session stands on its own, so if you’re only able to come once or twice, that’s ok.
Previous attendees left feeling more enlightened, encouraged, empowered, and hopeful.
To help us plan, please register to attend HERE. There is no cost for this class.
Childcare is available by advance reservation. To reserve a spot for your child, please email childcarereservations@belpres.org. Include the child’s full name, birthdate, and a parent cell phone number in your request.

What filters your view on race and diversity? Join us at the Frames & Filters workshop on Sat, May 19 from 10am to 2pm in the Community Center.
Our time together will be an active engagement exploring diversity and reconciliation through recent research on the formation of personal and societal lenses. Through a guided-process leaders will explore the “frames and filters” we use to understand multiethnic engagement, deepen cross-cultural literacy, and assists in realizing areas of growth individually and corporately. Working from a systems perspective leaders will realize effective principles and practices constructive in leading and growing a diverse community.
Facilitator: Tali Hairston, Director, John M. Perkins Center for Reconciliation, Leadership Training, and Community Development at Seattle Pacific University.
