Presence
An online affinity space for white folks - A practice and call for white folks.
For those who have been raced and self identify as white, Presence is a space to reflect on how race is at play in your life and relationship with self and others. Whiteness and white body supremacy have inevitably played a part in our ability (or inability) to be connected, embodied and fully, authentically ourselves (and allow others to be and do the same). In order to invite true depth and intimacy in, we must remain in humility of how we are showing up, knowing race is always present. Always.
So, if race is always present, we are being asked to reckon with HOW that plays out. If you know how it shows up, then you can start to unlearn, relearn and choose differently. To choose presence and live in accountability, humility, curiosity. Instead of constriction, headlessness, denial, and conceit. Therefore, it is personal and starts within us (before anything else) and our everyday choices in how we show up. How we live out our outdated, toxic conditioning of superiority is on us. On us, to move uniquely (out of solidarity with whiteness, i.e. silence) and model what it is to be in a healthy relationship with self and others when it comes to the truth around race. To find purpose and taproot into the ripple effect of our words, behaviors, values.

For over fifteen years, Haley’s education and non-profit leadership has committed to supporting those most marginalized. As a teacher, facilitator, and leader, she has served in non-profit executive leadership, school administration, and faith-based spaces. Her background includes working as a shelter case manager and educator for teens experiencing homelessness, instructional coaching, strategic planning, comprehensive professional development and trainings, and equity-centered practices.
As a non-profit executive director, Haley led an organization through a deep racial equity transformation, partnering with BIPOC leaders and consultants to build a more inclusive future. Her personal racial identity journey as a White woman has reinforced the critical need for White folks to do our own work for we can work towards true belonging, right relationship, and liberatory leadership.
"The White Women Doing the Work training far exceeded expectations. It helped me think differently about facilitating workshops, collaborating with communities, and my own anti-racist journey. Haley and Maren created such a welcoming learning environment—I would recommend this to anyone ready for deeper work."
"Every conversation throughout the cohort layered more depth to my understanding of White dominant culture inside myself. I now notice patterns I hadn’t seen before and act with more awareness."
"One of the most valuable parts of this cohort was realizing where my role really lies—in my white community, calling others in and pushing them. The accountability and support here reminded me why I joined in the first place."
"This process gave me the language I didn’t have before. I feel calmer, clearer, and ready to persistently practice what I’ve learned. The visualizations, especially the Casitas, helped me imagine and commit to a liberated future."
"I’ve learned that this work is necessary—even when it’s uncomfortable. It’s a cycle of re-activation and curiosity: you read, learn, get yeastier, and grow deeper roots. That growth makes community possible."
