Discussion Questions
1. How will we collectively and actively continue to practice the work of antiracism and dismantling white supremacy?
2. How can we amplify and support our local, state, federal, and global BIPOC communities and organizations? What are some specific actions we can take and how will we hold ourselves accountable?
3. How can we facilitate change and inspire growth in our personal lives and systemically? Are our local and state governments actively engaged in antiracism work? If not, how can we engage them in change?
4. Is the group interested in continuing to discuss some of Layla’s suggested books, podcasts, films, and/or documentaries? What would those discussions look like?
5. Would the group be interested in following up and revisiting Me and White Supremacy in one month, six months, or a year? How could repeating the process of reflecting on Layla’s prompts be beneficial?
6. How did processing Me and White Supremacy as a group help and/or further our antiracism journey and confronting our relationship with white supremacy? How do we feel we have changed over the course of these group meetings?
7. How are we showing up differently for the Black and Brown people in our life? What specific actions are we taking to be present for BIPOC?
