Disrupting Racism: NFSJ Learning Series
This series is designed as a number of intentional conversations around core tenants of a racial justice approach. The aim is to give participants the language and tools to have grounded conversation around race and racism, taking steps to disrupt it on the micro level (challenging perceptions within themselves, and also in small scale conversations with family, friends and colleagues). This series is not designed for an exclusively white space! It will be run by Liora and Rob Jones, a facilitator of color.

Real Talk: Lessons in Uncommon Sense with Dr. Adolph Brown
The Winchester Coalition for a Safer Community and Winchester Public Schools welcomes Dr. Adolph Brown to talk with our students, faculty, and community at large about unconscious bias, equity, and diversity issues that plague our country on a daily basis. We are so grateful for the generous support of Winchester Cooperative Bank to allow us this opportunity.
Dr. Brown offers a uniquely inspiring, relevant, and entertaining presentation. He is admired for his simple and direct “Real Talk”, with powerful, universal, and timeless teachings. Dr. Brown is the author of acclaimed books, including the international mental wellness best seller, Two Backpacks. Other best sellers authored include a business soft skills classic – Championship Habits; and the education classic – Real Talk.

I’m a Good Person! Isn’t that Enough? with Debby Irving
Join the conversation with Winchester-born Debby Irving, author of Waking Up White, as she shares her thoughts and expertise on how we, as parents, caregivers, and guardians can reflect on our own upbringing in order to proactively raise strong, empathic children. Debby will talk about the different kinds of unrecognized privilege that can influence our parenting.
Thursday, November 12, 7:00 PM
Inspired by her New York Times best seller, Orenstein will focus on her work with high school and college boys to reveal how they understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy. Through wit, research and powerful stories, she explores the impact of so-called locker room talk on boys; how the word “hilarious” robs young men of empathy; why pornography has become the new sex education; boys’ understanding of hookup culture and consent; and their experience as both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence.
