He graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 2007 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He has made a lifelong commitment to use the skills he possesses to end racism. In addition to using intimacy and closeness to blackness as a primary means to that end, the tools he frequently uses are speaking, teaching, singing, photography, filmmaking, and minimalism. Aaron leads a mentoring program called Turn It Up Now that focuses on elevating the power, talent, love, and work ethic of youth. He believes that deep connection is one of the most powerful tools one can use in dismantling racism.

PATTERSON (she/her) When Shannon founded Connection Works in 2011, she felt a calling to help stop workplace practices that diminish and disregard people’s humanity. However, at that time, anti-racism work was not a part of her work. In 2016, Shannon realized she couldn’t actually meaningfully address her calling without it, marking the beginning of her learning journey. She has worked with Anna-Brown Griswold, Reverend angel Kyodo williams, and Holistic Resistance (HR), read voraciously, and joined community to better understand how whiteness and racism lives in her. In summer 2020, Shannon created Women Connecting: Understanding Whiteness in response to the white women in her life who called seeking support in making sense of what unfolded in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. In February 2021, she completed HRs 6-month facilitation training and is currently in direct communication with them around this program to maintain accountability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d6ab8b4c326d5a66f3741f/02dbe8a1-4891-4785-a3f0-377b0052570f/GregFlynn_-1.jpg Disrupting Our Practice Events - GREGORY FLYNN (he/him) Greg created Men Connecting: Understanding Whiteness in the fall 2020. He works as a coach, facilitator, and supporter of humans. While Greg has had a deep commitment to social justice for most of his life, he began to realize that he had a lot to learn when it came to race and racism about three years ago. Since then, Greg has done workshops and programs with Anna-Brown Griswold, Reverend angel Kyodo williams, Robin DiAngelo, and Holistic Resistance (HR), read voraciously in order to better understand how whiteness lives in him, and joined community to be in relationship around ending racism. Because it is important to him to be in accountability in his anti-racism work, Greg continues to work with the excellent folks at HR to learn about how whiteness and racism lives in him and where his blind spots are. In February 2021, he completed HR’s 6-month facilitation training program and is currently in direct communication with them around this program to maintain accountability.
