We Believe the answer to ending structural racism is Love for each other.
Love is:
- Listening.
- Forgiving.
- Taking time to learn and understand.
- Speaking up against hate and unfairness.
- Pushing through discomfort which results in closer relationships and better communication.
Problem
- Everyday brown and black people are killed due to structural racism.
- Structural racism and racial discrimination is an issue in our community and the world.
- School doesn't teach the true history of the Unites States.
- People in our community explained to us how we need more people of color teaching diversity courses.
- Individuals in higher education don't gain enough knowledge and skills in diversity, equity, and social justice.

Meet Your Instructors
We are twin sisters from the village of Shungnak, located in the Northwest part of Alaska. Our journey begun when we entered the addiction field. We both wanted to work in this field because our father died due to alcoholism; we grew up poor and both of our parents were alcoholics. We have a total of 6 siblings including us. Were twins and we have a younger set of twin’s sisters. We grew up with our grandma on and off and then we moved to Fairbanks when we were 12 living with a single mother. Because we grew up in an alcoholic home, it wasn’t safe or nurturing, me and my sister. We were traumatized physically, mentally, emotionally, and sexually. We were all in the foster care system and we graduated late from high school. Our adverse childhood experiences score is 10 out of 10, studies show children with these scores drop out of high school, become addicted to drugs and alcohol, and commit suicide; but were still here beating all the odds.
While in school and working in the addiction field we saw the correlation between trauma, substance use, and inequality. Not only did we learn about inequality but both of us witnessed and experienced racial discrimination and microaggressions in our personal lives and careers. Both of us saw this great need of cultural awareness, so we created this training for businesses and individuals.
In 2019, my husband was killed by the police, he was shot 13 times. This made me want to teach others about inequality and systemic racism even more
Angel and I attended the University of Alaska Fairbanks where we attained our Associate degree in human services and Bachelor's in Social Work. Angel and I have experience with facilitating groups, leading protests, and advocacy against police brutality. We are part of various coalitions for Justice in Alaska. I am studying for the law school admissions test with the goal of attending LAW school.
We are committed to the Social Work Values of:
- Service.
- Social Justice.
- Dignity and Worth of a Person.
- Importance of Human Relationships.
- Integrity.
- Competence.
Racism is an Issue
According to Hate Crime Statistics (2020) 61% of the crimes pertained to Race and Ethnicity; being the largest percentage of crime, with 20% Sexual Orientation, and 13% Religion.
Increase of people of color in the United States
The U.S. Census Bureau has indicated that the United States is more diverse than was previously expected. Four out of ten Americans identify with a race or ethnic group other than White. For the first time in history statistics show that the White population is declining. With the increase of different ethnic groups in the United States it is vital for your employees to learn about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Importance
Combatting issues of inequality and racism in the work place and the world is very important! CNBC did a survey and they found 80% of employees want to work for a company that values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Hope
We believe you can become a leader in your business and community. A leader is one who speaks up and works against inequality and racism.
