Listen

We listen as all the women in the group share their thoughts and feelings of racism that they have gleaned from the author’s words. This is a time when we stop thinking about what we shared or are going to share and give full attention to the person sharing.

There is no “cross talk” during this time. Each person is entitled to her own time to share with no interruptions or judgment from other group members.

We learn and our experiences are enhanced when we truly listen to another woman express her thoughts and feelings. New ideas and feelings come to mind that we never thought of or experienced.

The sharing and listening parts of the program are invaluable in order to transform and change our own racism.
