United: acknowledging the past, being present, and creating change
This years Lyllye B. Parker Women of Color Summit aims to honor the work that people
have done before us in the fight for social justice by continuing to build bridges that lead to
positive change. This year we are “United: acknowledging the past, being present, and creating
change.” The summit will provide the opportunity for us to move through the day with one
another, acknowledging our histories, personal journeys, and the work that we are all doing to
create a more equitable campus and community.
Featuring:
The Power of Apology by Nanci Luna Jiménez
Have you ever given or received a sincere, unqualified apology? Over the course of our lives
we will hear and say the words "I'm sorry" thousands of times. These two small words can be
extremely difficult to say and sometimes even harder to receive. Yet when sincerely meant
and genuinely received these words have the capacity to reconnect, repair and strengthen any
bond—between individuals, communities or nations. The most powerful apologies are “clean
apologies:” given without conditions or expectation of forgiveness. Unfortunately “patterned
apologies” diminish an apologies true effect and can reinforce stereotypes of submissiveness,
accommodation or subservience. Join us for this highly experiential and insightful session to
learn more about patterned apologies, a tool to break the habit and a new awareness for how to
genuinely initiate and support repair starting with “I apologize!”
Participants will leave this workshop with:
● Practice how to identify, give and receive a “clean apology”;
● Learn the 3 patterned apology traps and understand the root causes of these
patterns;
● Apply a tool to find forgiveness—of self and others;
● Discover how to initiate and support the repair process.
