If you are a white entrepreneur reading this message, chances are that you're committed to a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive world.

For those who identify as white and entrepreneur, it's time to get real about responsibility. Responsibility for growing businesses in ways that empower rather than oppress. Responsibility for personal work, reflection and reparations. Responsibility and intentionality while operating inside oppressive systems (i.e. capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy).

If your experience is like ours, you've had a hard time finding a clear path to how you can use your business as a tool to move the needle in the fight against systemic racism. At the Kite + Dart Group, we've been working to move from allies to accomplices in the fight against white supremacy for years, and we’d like to share some of what we’ve learned.

Join a diverse panel of entrepreneurs and consultants to hear how you can use your business as a tool to transform and work against white supremacy. We will discuss anti-racism, anti-oppression, reparations and what this personal before professional work looks like. We’ll examine how you can use your business to move from ally to accomplice and join a movement of business owners out to transform white supremacy.

We hope you'll join us. Click the link below to register.
