Join us for an insightful book talk with Dr. Roxy Manning, featuring her groundbreaking works, How to Have Antiracist Conversations and The Antiracist Heart. In this engaging session, Dr. Manning will share her expertise on navigating complex conversations about race and how self-compassion can enhance our efforts toward social justice. The event will conclude with an interactive Q&A, offering a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the themes of her books and ask questions directly to the author. Don’t miss this chance to learn from a leading voice in antiracist communication and activism.
About How to Have Antiracist Conversations:
Utilizing Dr. Martin Luther King’s Beloved Community framework, activists will be empowered to create change and equity through fierce yet compassionate dialogue against racism and systematic white supremacy. Can a person be both fierce and compassionate at once? Directly challenge racist speech or actions without seeking to humiliate the other person? Interrupt hateful or habitual forms of discrimination in new ways that foster deeper change? Dr. Roxy Manning believes it’s possible—and you can learn how.
About The Antiracist Heart:
The Antiracist Heart delivers a unique path to antiracist activism and introspection by applying neuroscience exercises, questionnaires, and journaling prompts based on the book How to Have Antiracist Conversations. In each chapter, Manning, a clinical psychologist and antiracist activist, and Peyton, a neuroscience expert and educator, both trainers in Nonviolent Communication, unpack key concepts like bias and trauma using brain science alongside practices for self-connection and dialogue.
Roxy Manning is a clinical psychologist and certified Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) trainer. Since 2004 she has operated a private consulting business and regularly holds international workshops and intensives centered around nonviolent communication and social change issues. She has served as executive director of Bay Area Nonviolent Communication and focuses her outside efforts on working with the homeless population of San Francisco.
No registration required.
Roxy’s books are available for order here and through Indigenous-owned Massy Books.
