Module 1 - The Elephant in the Room addresses truths that need to be spoken aloud then accepted before any other changes can happen.

Module 2 - Looking Inward, Outward and Backward examines the systems put in place in order to understand how they repress and oppress Black people here in Canada. This includes a critical examination of our own school systems.

Module 3 - Anti-Black Racism in Ontario Schools addresses the differences between being an anti-racist and one who is complicit in the status quo. Calling Catholic teachers into action is the goal of this module.

Module 4 - Governance and Policy examines current governing documents that embed systemic racism and reflects upon ways to overcome and change policy to better serve the Black community.

Module 5 - Reimagining Strategies for Amplifying Black Voices delves into ways of celebrating and strengthening Black voices in our schools and communities.
