Racial Justice Working Group with Lutze Segu

"First we have to really think about what’s possible. Because the resistance revolution change starts in the imagination." - Lutze B. Segu, MSW, Doctoral Student in The Institute for Gender, Race Sexuality and Social Justice at The University of British Columbia

Join Lutze Segu and Vicki Saunders to chat about Lutze's work in the social justice space. Lutze's different roles as an activist, social worker, organizer, and racial justice facilitator have all collided in a beautiful role she describes as a social justice doula.

In her own words:

"I have been able to marry my knowledge, experience, and expertise into one seamless role. As a social justice doula, I facilitate racial justice workshops, provide strategic HR consulting for organizations, and offer feminist coaching to individuals. I create space for people to tell their stories and hear the stories of others so that they can be transformed. Social justice is my civic spiritual practice."

Plus, they also touch on:

Systems and language surrounding "marginalized" and "victimized" groups. Disrupting notions of venture funding. Designing a revolutionary new world through imagination. The origins of intersectionality. How information gets translated through the language we use, and how to use this language to build a bridge in our relationships. “Unless one lives and loves in the trenches, it is difficult to remember that the war against dehumanization is ceaseless.” -Audre Lorde   Find Lutze Online: lutzesegu.com   Engage with Lutze on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. https://www.facebook.com/lulu.segu https://twitter.com/FeministGriote https://www.instagram.com/socialjusticedoula/
