Showing Up For Black Women: A Reflection and Action Guide, developed by Founding Director Arlene C. Vassell.
Created to support organizations, teams, and individuals, especially aspiring allies, this guide offers opportunities to move beyond awareness and into meaningful action through reflection, intentional practice, and organizational culture shift.

To learn more about the guide, join Arlene for a 30-minute conversation on November 17 at 4:00 p.m. ET.

From Reflection to Action
A Two-Part Virtual Culture Shift Planning Experience
Creating a healthy, supportive, and sustainable workplace culture requires more than good intentions. It requires intentional action, shared responsibility, and a commitment to putting people first.
Building on TooREL's Workplace Culture Tree and People First, Purpose Always philosophy, this interactive, two-part virtual facilitated action planning experience moves beyond awareness and reflection to focus on intentional culture shifts.
Using the Culture Tree as a foundation, participants will explore two essential questions:
WHO needs to be involved in creating, strengthening, and sustaining a healthy workplace culture?
HOW do we translate our values, commitments, and “good intentions” into meaningful, actionable steps?
Through guided reflection, facilitated conversations, and practical action planning activities, participants will identify opportunities for culture shifts, consider who needs to be engaged, and begin developing strategies that align with their values, priorities, and realities.
By the end of the second session, participants will leave with the beginning of their own Culture Shift Plan, identifying priorities, key individuals and groups to engage, and initial steps toward creating a sustainable workplace culture where people can thrive, not merely survive.
All participants will also receive a copy of The TooREL's Rooted in Care: Self-Guided Workplace Culture Toolkit to support continued reflection, courageous conversations, and action beyond the two-part series.
Schedule
Session 1: Thursday, December 3 (3:00pm -5:00pm) ET
The WHAT and WHO — Understanding the Foundation and Engaging the Right People in Sustaining Real Culture Shifts
Session 2: Thursday, December 10 (3:00pm – 5:00pm ) ET
The HOW — Moving from “Good Intentions” to Action
Format: Two 2-hour facilitated sessions | Virtual via Zoom
Investment
Standard registration fee: $99 per participant
Team Registration: $89 per participant for teams of up to three participants from the same organization.
Pay What You Can:
At TooREL, we believe financial circumstances should not be a barrier to learning and professional growth.
Our Pay What You Can option is intended for individuals and organizations with limited financial resources or professional development budgets.
