The wait is over! Tune into a special episode of Break Fake Rules featuring leading antiracist scholar and director at the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, and CEO of Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO), Marcus Walton. Filmed in front of a live audience of rule breakers at #GEO2024, this episode digs into the fake rules that divide us by race and identity. 🎙️Learn from Dr. Kendi about the construct of race and how racist division prevents us from living into our full humanity. ”Racist ideas and bigotry across different areas not only prevents us from recognizing the full humanity of the other, but in being unable to recognize the full humanity of the other, we're actually not able to live in the full humanity of ourselves,” says Dr. Kendi. 💡 Hear Marcus Walton connect what this means for philanthropy, and why we must break the institutional barriers that prevent us from realizing philanthropy’s true purpose.  “Institutionalizing a thing, that is philanthropy, that has existed within human relationships since the beginning of humanity dehumanizes it by definition.” 💡 Which fake rules do we need to break to create an #antiracist society?

Involving academic advisors in decision-making enhances engagement and openness to new ideas, which is crucial for improving their well-being in higher education.
