Exclusive Opportunity: Race2Dinner Deconstructing Karen Screening in London!

Featuring a screening and interactive discussion with documentary producers, authors, and founders of the Race2Dinner, Regina Jackson and Saira Rao, this will be an evening unlike others - direct, at times difficult, and not for the faint of heart.

We invite everyone to come with an open mind and willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue. We hope that this event will be the foundation for forming meaningful community relationships, continued reflection and action towards creating a more just and equitable society for all.

Regina and Saira will also discuss their powerful and thought-provoking book White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better. A copy of the book will be included at this event.

The evening will begin with a screening of their film Deconstructing Karen, where we see the harmful and often dangerous effects of white women's complicity in upholding white supremacy. This screening is an opportunity to reflect on our behaviours and biases and to challenge ourselves to actively work towards dismantling the systems of racism and oppression that continue to harm marginalised communities.

Regina shared: "My whole reason for existing as a human being is to help, not harm others in their ability to live a life of their choosing as long as they are not harming others. That’s it, it’s that simple."

Saira shared: “White women actively uphold white supremacy every single day. And until and unless they are willing and ready to look at themselves in the mirror and start to dismantle the poison that's killing them too, nothing will change. White supremacy kills white people too. Look at gun violence. Climate catastrophe. COVID. If white folks want *humanity* to survive, they are going to have to give up their worship of whiteness and white supremacy. Every white person has to start at ground zero... with themselves. White folks need to put on their oxygen mask before trying to help others do the same."
