Transforming White Privilege on the Path to Racial Equity (TWP) originally formed as a project of Neighbors for Racial Justice (N4RJ), which is a group of white and Black women who came together in 2013 in Oakland, CA in response to racial profiling on NextDoor. N4RJ has since worked on many healing and action projects together, including how best to amplify Black voices and raise white accountability within a majority white group, ultimately landing on a women-led Black Council Advisory model. In this model, designed by Shikira Porter, Dr. Sherri Taylor, and other founding Black members, advisors are paid for their time when supporting N4RJ projects. After years of working internally with a white affinity group, N4RJ members Jenn Biehn and Jackie Dennis, two white elders with decades of racial activism, organizing, and teaching experience, invited Alanya Snyder to join them in developing a white affinity course we could share outside of the group. The name Transforming White Privilege came, with permission, from a course taught by Shakti Butler of World Trust. Shakti, along with adrienne maree brown, are two of the Black teachers that have most influenced this class. Their work, as well as the work Jenn Biehn has done with the multicultural leadership at East Bay Meditation Center, have helped shape our belief in healing spaces being essential for white people as part of a transformation to a just world. When Aicha Scott, a hospital midwife, took TWP in 2020, she felt that this style of white affinity antiracism work was needed for white midwives, and she joined the teaching team in order to develop a TWP series specifically for midwives. Kara Schamell joined in 2021 and Brooke Prudhomme joined in 2023, bringing their experience as community midwives to the TWP leadership. Each of our midwife facilitators joined the teaching team after taking the course and finding that the relational style of TWP assisted their efforts in the life-long work of antiracism. We work in partnership with a Black Midwife Council, who are paid for their consultations, and also seek input from other BIPOC advisors. We have recently consulted with Tema Mercado to learn from her work teaching Decolonizing Midwifery Apprenticeships. Proceeds from TWP courses go towards paying our advisors, as well as towards other BIPOC groups involved in birthing justice. Past contributions have gone to Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Ubuntu Family Wellness Collective, and Birthland. Most recently we have worked closely with and contributed to The BIPOC Student Midwife Fund. We buy copies of adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy for all of our students to pay her/them directly for their vast body of work and influence on our activism. Our TWP model is intentionally grass roots. We are learning along with our participants and sharing our own mistakes, growth, and vulnerability. We have designed our group to be very small (7-11 participants) as we are practicing a relational model as well as working outside of traditional systems.
