TMC is committed to continuous learning and evolution as we progress on our antiracist journey. Sometimes this shows up in how we approach language—what we say and how we say it.Instead of “People of Color and Indigenous” (POCI), we are now using “Black, Indigenous, People of Color” (BIPOC) internally and externally.While we understand that there is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach to discussing systemic racism, we believe that the term BIPOC better centers the unique experiences and relationships that Black and Indigenous people have with white supremacy and systemic oppression within a present-day U.S. context. We strive to do our best to address anti-Blackness and Indigenous invisibility, and to amplify the experiences of all people of color in our internal and external work.

Working with staff of nonprofit organizations over the last several years we have been reminded that staff who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color face unique and challenging issues within their organizations related to power, privilege, and identity all while driving essential work forward. We created this space to discuss and offer support around the challenges of being a BIPOC staff member in progressive and social justice organizations, and to share practices that can help BIPOC staff thrive.

In this course, we’ll cover all of the tools and best practices that we include in our regular Crash Course for non supervisory staff, and integrate discussion and new practices around navigating race, identity, and power dynamics within our organizations. You’ll learn how to:

• Write individual goals that keep your focus on outcomes and broad responsibilities
• Ask for feedback and practice receiving it in a way that makes your work more powerful and sustainable
• Manage your time and stay organized even when your plate is overflowing
• Provide feedback to your manager and peers
• Strategically manage up to your boss and colleagues to advocate for you and your work
• Recognize the impact of internalized oppression and practice effective ways to show up as your authentic self
