Nichelle Whitney Wash Speaking Topics

  • Introducing the Bias Cycle as the Culprit: How the cycle perpetuates systemic harm

    I do not use "microaggression" anymore. A persistent daily low hum of racist abuse is not minor. I use the term "abuse" because aggression is not as exacting a term. "Abuse accurately describes the action and its effects on people–Dr. Ibram Kendi". This workshop will unpack various forms of microaggressions and how they present in work and community context. We’ll explore the psychological impact of micro-aggressions, and we’ll offer tactics for productive responses when mishaps occur. In addition to unpacking stereotypes, we spend time understanding how oppression operates in cycles, and we explore the ways in which we are able to break the cycle. The session includes interactive dialogue surrounding video clips and allows for small group discussion in breakout rooms. This session includes the following learning objectives:

    • Create awareness surrounding the common occurrences of microaggressions.
    • Explore the outcomes associated with the experience of micro-aggressions.
    • Tips for how to respond to a situation where you are the aggressor and when someone has been micro-aggressive (harm reduction).

  • Let’s Talk: Identifying and Combating Imposter Syndrome as an Act of Resilience

    Imposter Syndrome (IS) is a constant anxiety that you will be exposed as phony or unworthy even though you’ve achieved things, done good work, or mastered skills. IS impacting people at alarmingly high rates and results in increased anxiety, depression, and overall diminished performance in the work and community contexts. This session will identify and unpack IS, and give managers, providers and practitioners tips for spotting IS and empowering people to conquer IS.

    Learning objectives include:

    • Create awareness surrounding imposter syndrome
    • Explore the impact of imposter syndrome on youth
    • Complete personal imposter syndrome assessment
