RACETALK™ AMERICA

PETITION TO PROVIDE MINDFULNESS, MINDFUL COMMUNICATION, AND SENSITIVITY TRAINING TO THE WNBA
RaceTalk™ America was created to help individuals understand that the racial and social issues that plague our society can be resolved by reducing conflicts between individuals rather than groups.
No person or agency can change how we think, act, or feel on a global scale.
Racism, bigotry, unconscious bias, inequality, and inequities are developed and maintained by individuals from all ethnic and racial groups. There are no exemptions; the fault is universal, and tolerance is a failed solution.
Social media is critical for our social development; however, in recent years, it has lost its appeal as a way to help individuals foster positive communication skills.
The goal of our project is designed for professional development in the workplace.
Players in the WNBA deserve the right and opportunity to learn specific skills for their professional development.
HUMAN RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT IS A LIFELONG PRACTICE
Coach Phil Jackson, a long-time mindfulness practitioner, contacted Dr. Kabat-Zinn to find someone credible who could teach mindfulness techniques to the struggling team and speak his players’ language.
Phil Jackson used his resources to bring a man into the Bulls and Lakers camps.
- Players must begin incorporating the methodology into their everyday lives to learn the practice.
We have attended week-long seminars taught by Dr. Kabat Zinn and are working on a book that will help individuals integrate this philosophy into their daily lives with little if any, effort. We have explored the most critical elements in our nation that continue to create this divisiveness, which erodes the thread of ethics and morality and creates a sensation of indifference toward others.
In fact, we have developed a facilitator program that allows staff and team members to lead sessions before or after practice, in team meetings, during travel, or wherever the players feel alert and comfortable enough to incorporate our program.
- A player can practice Mindfulness 24/7/365 because it is internal.
Mindful Communication and Sensitivity – are the additional modalities that we have added to guarantee a success rate.
MINDFULNESS – the essential human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s happening around us.
MINDFUL COMMUNICATION – a way of interacting with others that involves being present, nonjudgmental, and adaptable.
SENSITIVITY TRAINING – It is a consciousness that helps an individual become unhinged about their past individual or group-learned dynamics that will shift their consciousness more about them and less about the other.
