Reverse mentoring Global Majority Collective student group

Really excited and blessed to begin the process of reverse mentoring tonight with our amazing Global Majority Collective student group. After me approaching the group, they decided that they would prefer to offer a group mentoring session, this was because they wanted to offer a richness of perspectives to help to support my journey as an accomplice. I joined with my colleague and we had about six other group members join us.

Ideas around authenticity and credibility are really central to our work and I am mindful of the pitfalls of as I continue on my journey as an evolving accomplice of avoiding the dangers of a surface approach to anti racist work.

am truly inspired and excited to begin this journey. In our first session of reverse mentoring we were careful to co-create the parameters of the safe space, trust and accountability being central to the relationship. I would really like to create a safe space where I can honestly address making mistakes, using mentoring to make positive change.

I am mindful of the impact of the emotional labour of the task for the mentors, and going forward how the group puts strategies in place to overcome impact. Overall I am excited as a new journey commences!......
