Four overlapping circles showing progression from Becoming Anti-Racist, Fear Zone, Learning Zone, and Growth Zone.

Specific details in the zones:

Fear Zone:
I deny racism is a problem.
I avoid hard questions.
I strive to be comfortable.
I talk to others who look & think like me.

Learning Zone:
I recognize racism is a present & current problem.
I seek out questions that make me uncomfortable.
I understand my own privilege in ignoring racism.
I educate myself about race & structural racism.
I am vulnerable about my own biases & knowledge gaps.
I listen to others who look & think differently than me.

Growth Zone:
I identify how I may unknowingly benefit from Racism.
I promote & advocate
for policies & leaders that are Anti-Racist.
I sit with my discomfort.
I speak out when I see
Racism in action.
I educate my peers how Racism harms our profession.
I don't let mistakes
deter me from being better.
I yield positions of power to those otherwise marginalized.
I surround myself with others who think & look differently than me.
