Course Description

This course is for those that want to go beyond unconscious bias and examine the lived experiences of Black colleagues. Participants will be guided to a deeper understanding of the “heart case and business case” for anti-racism and why both are important. Because it’s not possible for a non-Black person to know first-hand the experiences of Black people, participants will consider their own deeper meaning of the “right thing to do.” From there, participants will experience a series of head and heart connections which culminate with Black voices telling their stories. In a self-paced experience that includes interactive quizzes and “Do the Work” assignments, participants will walk away with a heightened awareness of everyday anti-racism that values Black lives and well-being beyond February. [6 Lessons; Course Duration ~ 2 hours]

Her signature style blends soul and strategy, truth-telling and humor, the practical and profound—all while making space for meaningful growth. Theresa’s approach to well-being is deeply informed by her expertise in equity, anti-racism, and belonging. Named by Forbes as one of seven anti-racism educators “your company needs now,” she brings a trauma-informed, justice-rooted lens to well-being—because true well-being can’t thrive in systems built on exclusion. Her facilitation challenges both hearts and minds, making the vital connection between inner healing and systemic change.
