Anti-racism and racial justice work is messy, complicated, difficult, emotional, and risky. Catriceology Enterprises’ approach to discussing and/or teaching about racism is candid and straightforward. We do not offer “safe” spaces for people to learn about racism, especially white people. We create “brave” spaces instead. Brave spaces require that each program participant is willing to be uncomfortable, open, honest, vulnerable, transparent, humble, flexible, teachable, and accountable for their behavior in all settings.
When a participant agrees to participate in an anti-racism educational program, they are agreeing to potentially experience unpredictable emotional responses and stress. Participants may experience hurt feelings, confusion, frustration, sadness, anger and/or other uncomfortable feelings. These feelings are a natural response to engaging in anti-racism educational experiences. Participants agree to participate at their own risk.
We strongly suggest that each participant use discernment and caution to evaluate his or her emotional well-being before agreeing to participate in our anti-racism, racial justice, or professional development programs, and before implementing any suggested strategies, techniques, and/or educational advice.
Catriceology Enterprises reserves the right to remove any participant from any program without notice. If Catriceology Enterprises must remove a participant from a program due to that participant exhibiting racial violence and/or becoming non-compliant or combative, that participant will not receive a refund.
Catriceology Enterprises also reserves the right to limit the amount of emotional racial violence that their personnel may experience by the negative or combative behavior of participants in online and in-person programs.
