DECOLONIZING R.E.P. PRACTICES
TRAINING SERIES





"To disrupt systems of harm requires an ongoing disruption of the self."

​The Decolonizing R.E.P. Practices Training Series is...

A curated training series through Eclectic Learning Network, L.L.C. designed for learning institutions committed to exploring how perpetuating colonizing tactics and behaviors impact our R.E.P. (race, education, parenting) practices and ways to shift barriers toward invitations centered on community, connection, and awareness through multisensory and self-directed learning approaches.

Throughout this training series, we will:
  • Name and identify the unique and intersecting pain points that show-up across current R.E.P. Practices and its impact
  • ​"Own, acknowledge, reflect, pivot, and practice" through guided prompts, exercises, and emergent dialogue
  • Learn how to shift barriers toward invitations that reveal practical approaches and strategies to disrupt harmful practices in long-term ways

the work starts and continues from within

Exploring this work is a deep dive into the systematic and systemic harms BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and other invisibilized groups experience. It requires vulnerability to see, own, and acknowledge the damaging effects of colonization, the roles we all play in sustaining it, and ways to pivot our practice.

This work is not a check box of accomplished good deeds; it's a deep and ongoing commitment to shift our practice in every area that's needed. Stepping into this work creates a beautiful window to peel and reveal conditioned barriers to understanding, deepening our practice toward respect-filled and trust-centered relationships within your organization and its surrounding community.

a human approach

Intentionally designed to meet individuals and organizations where they are, with nudging's that lovingly push beyond comfort zones, the Decolonizing REP Practices Training Series allows space for emergent and comfortably uncomfortable conversations or silence.

When exploring anti-racism and equity work, training is often engaged in black and white, but this work, paired with our current times, is a deep dive into the grey.
 ​"Maleka was a fantastic facilitator and the information that was generated on how to better serve our Communities is invaluable. Maleka was able to lead positive and productive conversations making sure the voices in the audience were heard. Her analysis of the information after the meetings was also insightful and honest. I would absolutely recommend Maleka for any School District that is intent on listening to their Communities." - William Penn School District

​a quick note for non-BIPOC folks engaging this work

​Privilege does not mean you're a direct benefactor.

However, it can bring awareness to the areas and ideas in your life that are, unconsciously or consciously, taken for granted. Experience from the periphery provides a vantage point that can only be fully understood empirically. The option to remove oneself from the center is a privilege, not a hardship.
