Just the FACTS’ interactive delivery creates a comfortable environment for participants to engage in meaningful experiential learning. In under 90 minutes, participants will simulate, discuss, and unpack the structural limitations and advantages that coincide with various intersecting identities. ​

Just the FACTS is played with eight characters that belong to the following racial groups: Asian, White, African American, and Hispanic.  There are male and female characters, LGBTQ characters, Muslim, and Jewish characters. Each character encounters a series of fact based advantages and limitations based on the intersection of their race, gender, sexual orientation, faith, class, age, and ability.

​Participants select a character that differs from how they identify and are then engaged in a facilitated conversation that includes but is not limited to: racial, gender, religious, and sexual orientation discrimination, gender and racial pay gaps, redlining and gentrification, median income averages by race and gender, (mental) health disparities, prison and bail disparities, (dis)ability, education inequity, ageism and intersectionality. 

Just the FACTS evokes empathy, increases cultural competence, & enhances self-awareness.

Content Warning: The content and discussion in this session will engage with the topic of sexual assault and the survivor recovery process.  If you feel the need to step outside of the zoom space, either for a short time or longer please do, however, please know that the presenter will do their best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically and thoughtfully with difficult content.
