Attention conference coordinators: Unless your stated theme is “White people are the arbiters of what constitutes knowledge & expertise” there is absolutely no reason to have that many white presenters. None. NONE. 

And the few POC presenters need to be presenting on something other than racism.

I want all healing conferences to literally “flip the script”. Most of the presenters should be other than cismen, and most of the presenters should be POC. 

If your lineup isn’t like this, it tells me you do not take the dismantling of White Supremacy seriously & therefore the lens that you approach healing—especially healing from trauma—is morally bankrupt and cannot lead us to liberation.

It’s fucking 2020, fucking get with the goddamn program.
