White Women, Get Ready: Disrupting Patterns of White Womanhood in Our Social Justice Movements
Thursday, March 13, 2025, 7-8:30pm ET
A free, interactive online conversation
Join author, artist, and anti-racist organizer Amanda K Gross for an introductory session about her book, White Women, Get Ready: How Healing Post-Traumatic Mistress Syndrome Leads to Anti-Racist Change. We will learn about the Mistress Syndrome healing justice frame, work with an embodied tool for interrupting patterns of white womanhood, and invite questions during a Q&A.
Inspired by Dr. Joy DeGruy's work on Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, White Women, Get Ready tells the story of how white ladies have been groomed to uphold overlapping systems of oppression, the harmful multigenerational impact, and how we can use our unique white lady positioning to help upend these violent structures.
While this program will focus on white womanhood, it welcomes and will be of value to attenders of all genders and racial identities.
