Zoom Chats Sessions 4-6 with K.A. Gilmore

The Laugh You Didn’t Mean or Did You

These guided conversations create space for people who are just becoming aware, still learning, actively seeking, or already taking action to talk honestly about racism without pressure. The focus is on listening, understanding, and figuring out what comes next wherever you are.

Sessions are lead by new author, K.A. Gilmore of Nobody Told Me I am Black, a three book series on racism in the U.S.

The small moments people dismiss, are never small. Accents, stereotypes, punchlines, and impressions.

Session 5 explores cultural jokes, coded language, and the everyday moments people dismiss as harmless. It examines what is actually being reinforced when people laugh, stay quiet, or go along, and how those reactions signal belonging, comfort, and complicity.

WEDNESDAYS @ 12PM (AZ time)

  • May 20th
  • May 27th
  • June 3rd

Cultural jokes are not neutral. Join the conversation.

Cost of Silence

These guided conversations create space for people who are just becoming aware, still learning, actively seeking, or already taking action to talk honestly about racism without pressure. The focus is on listening, understanding, and figuring out what comes next wherever you are.

Sessions are lead by new author, K.A. Gilmore of Nobody Told Me I am Black, a three book series on racism in the U.S. 

Silence is the internal calculation people make before speaking truth, weighing safety, consequence, and what a relationship or room can hold.

Session 4 explores the personal cost of silence and the moment people realize a space may not be safe for honesty. It examines how individuals distinguish between safety, comfort, and complicity when deciding whether to speak.

FRIDAYS @ 9AM (AZ time)

  • April 24th
  • May 1st
  • May 8th

Silence allows racism to grow.  Join the conversation.

Setting the Stage

These guided conversations create space for people who are just becoming aware, still learning, actively seeking, or already taking action to talk honestly about racism without pressure. The focus is on listening, understanding, and figuring out what comes next wherever you are.

Sessions are lead by new author, K.A. Gilmore of Nobody Told Me I am Black, a three book series on racism in the U.S. 

People react strongly to the word “racist” because it feels like an attack on who they are, not just what they did. In the United States, racism is often seen as something only hateful people do.

Session 1 examines what racism is, why we avoid naming it, and why good intentions are not enough. Gain practical tools to move from silent witness to active participant.

MONDAY & SUNDAYS @ 11am (AZ time)

  • February 16th
  • February 22nd
  • March 1st

Silence allows racism to grow.  Join the conversation.

Proximity Bias

These guided conversations create space for people who are just becoming aware, still learning, actively seeking, or already taking action to talk honestly about racism without pressure. The focus is on listening, understanding, and figuring out what comes next wherever you are.

Sessions are lead by new author, K.A. Gilmore of Nobody Told Me I am Black, a three book series on racism in the U.S. 

Proximity bias is assuming that because you’re close to someone, you know their experience — even when they’re telling you otherwise.

Session 3 explores Proximity Bias and how closeness to power and privilege often outweighs lived experience, allowing dominant perspectives to override those closest to the harm.

MONDAYS @ 6pm (AZ time)

  • March 23rd

  • April 6th

Silence allows racism to grow.  Join the conversation.
