A Place for Community, Learning, &

Liberation

Welcome

To the Shine Bright School

In committing to Black liberation, community is the key binding ingredient that can’t be missed. We thrive in community. Actively engaging in and building community is an act of reclamation. Especially because, we live in a society that teaches us to adopt individualism, which disconnects us from ourselves and others —our humanity. In building community, we can work to repair the harm that is done by believing that we’re alone or that we must handle and do things on our own. It helps us to heal, to grow and to do life feeling more seen, supported and connected.

Black Liberation is for Everybody

 Shine Bright School Featured Courses

We provide tools and support structures for members to begin, and deeply engage this journey. We call the work of anti-racism a ‘journey’ for good reason… it is a process and not an instant fix. This journey is one that we commit to and we will walk with our members for as long as they choose.

 

Pursue Black Liberation

At the Shine Bright School, we are committed to supporting folks in their Black Liberation journey by providing opportunities to learn, unlearn and take action in doing this work.

This course includes Black liberation shine class, a challenge workbook, a guide for parents, plus bonus extras. In addition this course includes two highly-rated additional shine class lessons: anti-racism 101 & 102 crash courses, inside-out framework, and unpacking my personal identity workbooks.

 Kind Words…

  • Perfectionism impacts everything.

    This class has truly given me more tools to recognize how harmful perfectionism is to my day to day life, relationships, and how it is interfering with Black Liberation. If you are struggling with perfectionism (as all of us do in this capitalistic society) this class is for YOU! You will not regret this investment in self-discovery and anti-racism education.

    -Claire Gordon

  • Insightful and Valuable.

    This course was an amazing learning opportunity and I would recommend this to everyone. Monique has a captivating way of explaining and truly making the audience understand and appreciate Black Liberation. Thank you for putting this amazing course together.

    -Chelsea Clark

  • Practical, Informative, and Challenging.

    This class was full of information and tools to further the work of Black Liberation through anti-racism. The focus on how to process my emotions and white identity, as well as strategies to communicate with other white people on these topics, gave me so many tools to use. This class in conjunction with the 101 crash course provides an invaluable introduction to the work, I recommend them to everyone!

    -Beth Campbell

  • The Start of My Journey

    This really made me take a close look at my own actions and gave me an insight I did not have before. I recognize I have a lot of work to do but I am ready to learn and continue my work on this journey towards Black liberation.

    -Olivia MacGillivray

  • The Necessary First Step

    Monique's Anti-racism 101 course completely challenged me in ways I didn't even know I needed to deepen my commitment to the work, and also understand how defining and shifting my motivation for anti-racism work is necessary in order to truly commit. This course is invaluable and I am so looking forward to taking more of her classes.

    -Christina Murdoch

  • Short and Potent

    Thank you for this brief but powerful guide and introduction to Black Liberation. So much to continue to think about and I really appreciate the concrete suggestions and action steps that I am grateful to explore and share with my child as appropriate. This is a lifelong journey and I appreciate your support and willingness to share resources and education.

    -Bekah Finch

  • Great Reminder That Anti-racism Is An Active Process

    This class has so many great reminders and explanations on what it means to be anti-racist and the traps you can fall into as you work towards Black liberation. One of the best takeaways for me is to constantly check my motives. Thank you, Monique!

    -Jen McBee

  • Great Insight!

    I purchased the replay and it was so informative. I took pages of notes on how to start conversations with my own children and even bringing it to students I may interact within schools.

    -Lauren Tavares

  • "You Don't Have To Have Black Friends To Care About Black Lives."

    Monique's reminder to don't overthink information and be open to other perspectives is so important. Friendships are just another relationship we hold in our lives and those people in the relationships deserve to be communicated with fully. No more ghosting each other. Communication will help us all grow. Grateful for this class & would encourage others to engage.
