Is your NGO arranging 'dialogues' about race at the moment? Here's some guidance: If you hope to educate white senior leaders about racism, then hold a separate event, pay an expert to facilitate it, and spare your employees of colour the unpaid labour of teaching you for free 1/ The 'dialogue' must be premised around an explicit admission that racism - both interpersonal *and* structural - is alive and well in #globaldev . No equivocation; no euphemistic use of 'diversity' narratives; no ifs, no buts. Anything less will cause irrevocable harm to POC 2/
