UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE WHITE AND PRIVILEGED
JOURNAL

I am a 72 year old, white, straight, Jewish and comfortably retired male born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri.  After a 17 year career in the business world, I served as a not-for-profit executive, consultant and coach, specializing in board and staff development, strategic planning,  fund raising and youth leadership. In 1992, I actively began to study and learn about diversity and inclusion.  Since that time I have facilitated hundreds of workshops and programs. After extensive training in 2014, The King Center (www.thekingcenter.org) certified me as a Nonviolence 365 Ambassador.

​I am retired now focusing my efforts on ways to develop understanding of race and white privilege through workshops, writing and speaking engagements.


Our Vison:  A world free of injustice​

Our Mission:  As a writer, speaker and facilitator, help people understand what it means to be white and privileged
