Together, we will face the truth of our nation's history of anti-Black racial terror and violence, self reflect on the ways each of us have upheld and perpetuated white supremacy in our lives, and embrace our ability to affect change and dismantle racism, first within ourselves, and then in our families and communities.  

Our purpose is to listen to and learn from Black leadership, utilize antiracism tools and resources  to strategize ways to do less harm, be better co-conspirators to BIPOC and develop ways to move forward with mindful action toward collective liberation.

Once registered, participants will receive soul assignments, which is basically pre-work (books, podcasts, documentaries, etc) to help them get started on building a solid foundation for their personal anti-racism journey.  

Our weekend together begins on Friday evening with dinner, contemplation, and an interactive Kabbalat Shabbat service. This trip includes visits to: The National Memorial For Peace and Justice, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, and the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.

Following every Legacy Trip, guests are invited and encouraged to participate in free monthly alumni calls to stay engaged with the Legacy family and continue cultivating community and accountability in their ongoing antiracism journey. We also offer a Legacy Trips After Care program for those who want a more expansive and comprehensive support system.

We invite you to engage in this transformational experience as we delve into these courageous conversations with trip facilitator Kohenet Dr. Harriette E. Wimms. 

Kohenet Dr. Harriette E. Wimms is a community convener, Jewish professional, spiritual ritualist, and social justice advocate for people of color. Founder and executive director of the Jews of Color Mishpacha Project, Dr. Harriette is also the inaugural Jews of Color Engagement Fellow at The Associated: Baltimore Jewish Federation (the first type of position within any Jewish Federation System) and a prayer leader in both the Kohenet community and at Hinenu: The Baltimore Justice Shul. 

Kohenet Dr. Harriette is a Schusterman cohort 7 fellow, a Selah cohort 17 fellow, and a contract trainer for Keshet. She is a Maryland licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in providing compassion-infused mental health care to people of color, queer people, and neurodivergent children, adolescents, adults, and families. She is a proud Black, queer, disabled, Jew by choice, and is most proud of being mother to her neurodiverse 19-year-old. 

This trip is designed for members of the Jewish community, specifically all Jewish women, NB, cis/trans people of all racial identities who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women, and who want to do the inner work of allowing truth to guide them in their anti-racism journey.
