Film screening and discussion: Deconstructing Karen

March 7 @ 18:00 - 21:00

In celebration of International Women’s Day this year, we will be holding a film screening and discussion of the 2022 documentary, “Deconstructing Karen”.

NOTE: this event is now SOLD OUT. If you would like to join a waiting list, please send an email to 

“In this documentary feature film, nice white women attend the wildest dinner party of their lives. The main course is a radically honest conversation on racism. While sipping wine and passing the breadbasket, these women experience an eye-opening journey, discovering how they uphold white supremacy every single day. For some guests there are epiphanies, others resistance. But for all the guests, something has changed, and they can never unknow the painful truths about racism and white supremacy that are revealed over this dinner. Meet the entrepreneurial women behind this powerful work and explore why this work is worth risking their lives.”

The premise is simple:

What if white women could and would show up to help end racism?

More information about the documentary can be found here.

Following the film screening, Chisom Udeze (HerSpace) and Meryn Willetts (Umbrella) will hold a discussion that reflects on the themes that arise in the documentary and the reality of the situation.

This event is open to everyone, regardless of gender or race. 

Seats are limited! Be sure to secure your seat today.
