Bring it to the counter.

With all that BIPOC educators experience, our program’s EnCounters are designed to cultivate a sense of celebration, challenge, and community for leaders. The countertop is historically a place of resistance and a place where we gather to nourish and commune. Throughout history, our “countertop” conversations and various encounters in a White-dominant world have naturally prompted us to create our own powerful counternarratives about who we are.
Education EnCounter is a program designed to provide a safe place for BIPOC educators to discuss challenges specific to our identities. Each year, we embark on an exciting year of seminars to strategically plan for the change we hope for and believe in.
We’re emboldening our leaders to set boundaries and chart their course for impact.
