What you will experience
Connect With SisDr
Engage directly with me, SisDr, in an interactive session where your voices are amplified. Join a community fostering connections beyond the webinar. We’ll challenge systematic bias, and inspire action for justice and equity for Black Women.
Expand Your Perspective
Explore the nuanced challenges faced by Black Women through the lens of gender, race, and identity. Broaden your perspective while gaining tools to advocate effectively. Leave with a more informed, empathetic worldview with Cultural underatanding.
Gain Lifelong Knowledge
With my lifelong background in Research, People, Education, and Therapies, I offer a different perspective – the way of Cultural-competence. Empower yourself to recognise negativity and drive positive change with my guidance.
Confront the unspoken realities threatening Black Women, because the path to true equity begins with uncompromising examination.
My life’s work has been guided by one core purpose – to uplift the narratives that dominant Culture has relentlessly suppressed. I don’t just talk about the injustices facing Black Women, I have bore their weight my entire existence. This conversation cannot be led by those insulated from the gnawing pain of racial and gender oppression.
I speak from a place of soul-deep understanding, fuelled by Ancestral Wisdom and expertise to dismantle the very systems that threatens dignity. When you join me for this reckoning, you tap into generational resilience and a boundary-pushing vision of what true liberation can look like. I will not tread lightly – this is a summons to unflinching courage.
Five Reasons to Join
On Women’s History Month, we’ll unpack the systematic injustices and dehumanising narratives faced by Black Women. During “English Is Not My First Language: Psychosis Misdiagnosis… Prognosis” live webinar, that’s in collaboration with The Investigator. We’ll grapple with the harsh realities that threaten the health, wealth, and safety that anti-Blackness and gender bias impose.
1
Redefining "Difference" as Empowering, Not Marginalising
We’ll dissect how language shapes perception, interrogating notions of “difference” that are wielded as tools of subjugation. Leave with a new lexicon to reframe narratives and uplift intersectional identities.
2
Drawing the Line - From Hate Speech to Inciting Violence
Explore how coded language and biased rhetoric enables escalating harm against marginalised groups. Develop a sharpened lens to identify speech that threatens physical and psychological safety.
3
Dismantling False Narratives About Black Womanhood
Reclaim the multi-dimensional truth of Black female experiences suppressed by degrading stereotypes and misrepresentations. Heal by authoring self-affirming counter-narratives.
4
Finding Balance Through Therapeutic Wisdom
Ground yourself in the empowering ethos of Ma’at through music, movement and embodied practices. Access restorative pathways to safeguard your holistic wellbeing.
5
Activating Change - Awareness and Embodied Advocacy
Awakening to truth marks the dawn of advocacy. Justice demands intentional action as much as thought. Leave empowered to recognise systemic inequalities and take steps to dismantle them.
Speaker
SisDr
I’m SisDr, an Afrikan-centred author, educator, and advocate for justice, blending academic rigour with Ancestral wisdom to empower the Afrikan diaspora. My work, deeply rooted in the principles of Ma’at and informed by my Caribbean heritage, seeks to foster equality, equity, and healing through education and therapies.
So here’s the question, do we understand English differently?
Are we at risk in our professional and personal lives due to this ‘difference’? In a world where our understanding of English shapes our reality, how does this impact us as Black Women?
These questions are the very reason I became a therapist, leadership coach, and author, and during Women’s History Month I’ll be covering difficult issues that are considered triggering, so be prepared to feel uncomfortable.
It’s time to ask pressing questions and create a different conversation, as recent events are not too far dissimilar to history, there’s an urgent need for this dialogue to be heard, felt, shared, and actioned.
We’ll recognise and rectify the disparities faced by Black Women, and other marginalised groups, and question the systemic biases that have long silenced voices from Black Women.
As a Culturally-competent Coach, I invite you to think differently for your growth, a better community, and a stronger workplace.
What Attendees Thought
Take Action Against Alleged Hate Crimes
Recent reports have emerged alleging that Frank Hester made racist and dangerous remarks about Diane Abbott, a British MP of Jamaican heritage, and other Black Women. These alleged comments, which included expressing hatred towards all Black Women and calling for Diane Abbott to be shot, are deeply concerning and potentially constitute a hate crime.
If you’re outraged by these alleged hate-fuelled remarks, I urge you to take action. Complete the form to receive a letter template and links to contact your local authorities and other relevant officials. Together, we can demand accountability and stand up against hate crimes and racist rhetoric targeting marginalised communities.
