Dark Matter in White Spaces with Zach & Hajera

About Zach Herring

Zachary is just a Black and Jewish man doing his best as a human. As a mixed individual he has, from a young age, had to work through his own inborn supremacism -- and uses this understanding to build bridges between the self and the other through compassionate conversation.

About the Workshop

Dark matter is the material spread throughout our universe that's often difficult to detect. As individual descendents of the stars, we contain our own universes full of beautiful light, and our own particular version of dark matter as well. The many biases and tendencies that remain invisible to ourselves, or are concealed and made invisible to others. This container is held to make visible that which is difficult to see or hard to admit exists within our beings -- a safe space to begin to release some of the prejudiced programming we've been taught, through the open and honest discussion and exploration of topics like race, gender, and sexuality.
