A Note to
White Bridge Builders:

As you navigate the Academy, you will find courses and content that serves people of every background at every stage of their journey. What may come as a surprise is the resources created for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) as most of those resources are outside the Black/White binary. As you engage this content, our hope is that you increasingly experience afresh our incredibly diverse and complex world.

A Note to
BIPOC Bridge Builders:

As you navigate the Academy, you will find courses and content that serves people of every background at every stage of their journey. What may come as a surprise is the resources created for White Bridge Builders. The history, realities of racism, and its consequences may be triggering for you. Remember, the goal is to meet everyone where they are. If you decide to engage that content, handle yourselves with care.

Self-Paced Courses

Life is busy and schedules are often full or unpredictable. Even so, you know the work of bridge-building and personal growth doesn’t stop. We offer a range of courses that are pre-recorded in order for you to get what you need at times that work for you. These courses have not only a video lesson to watch, but guided reading material as well as reflection and journal prompts to help you process on your own.

LIVE Sessions

In so many ways, the work of racial bridge-building can be isolating, intense, or overwhelming. Sometimes what you need is not just information, but community and others to process alongside. We offer a variety of courses with live instruction, small group discussion, and online engagement in order to be sure your needs are met in your current phase of growth and development.

Critical Race Theory

We are aware of the criticism toward CRT. We find it an unfortunate distraction away from the real work of engaging in racial justice and dismantling structures of white supremacy. Latasha wanted you to have a resource around CRT and our posture at BTB. We hope you find this helpful.
